However, the dish was made in Iznik, north-west Anatolia. By the 1530s, the small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers shown here were a common motif in Ottoman ceramics.\r\n\r\nIznik has given its name to some of the most accomplished ceramics produced in the Islamic Middle East. In the mid 15th century, potters there specialised in modest earthenware imitations of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. But in the 1460s or 1470s, under the patronage of Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror, they began to manufacture bowls, dishes and other pieces of fritware that were elegant in shape and decoration. These wares were often very large.","physicalDescription":"Blue and white dish with small, deep bowl and wide lip. Exterior of dish is white with two blue stripes around base, one around join of bowl and lip, and two just below the rim. Interior of bowl is decorated with blue sprigs of flowers and leaves, encircled by blue stripe, and ring of dots. The wide lip is decorated with blue cartouches and radiating sprigs of flowers and leaves, within a stipe border.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"Fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painting","id":"x30598"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, underglaze painted in cobalt blue, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Iznik","id":"AAT21623"},{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AF6733","2006AF6734","2018KT4773"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"42","id":"THES49806"},"free":"","case":"WN4","shelf":"4","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Plate","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iznik","id":"x32510"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1535-1545","earliest":"1535-01-01","latest":"1545-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Salting Bequest","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"26.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"4.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Broad-rimmed dish (tondino) with small sprays of flowers, Turkey (probably Iznik), 1535-1545.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Lane, Arthur.
