The great <i>saz</i> leaves hark back to the style of the 1540s and 1550s. But the running colours and generally coarse execution indicate that this is a much later work, probably around 1580.\r\n\r\nThe town of Iznik, in north-west Anatolia, was known as a centre of ceramic production. The Ottoman court renewed its patronage of Iznik ceramics during the construction of the Süleymaniye mosque in Istanbul in 1550-1557. The first Iznik tiles were produced, and potters added a bright red was added to the range of colours painted under the glaze. This was achieved with a slip made from a special clay.\r\n\r\nIn the following decades, tiles of high quality were decorated in red, green and tones of blue on a white ground. Dishes, bottles and other vessels had similar decoration on white or coloured grounds.","physicalDescription":"Shallow dish with a sketchily drawn bird among saz motifs.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"underglazing","id":"AAT48642"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, polychrome underglaze painted, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Islam","id":"THES48932"}],"styles":[{"text":"Iznik","id":"AAT21623"},{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006BK2421","2006BK2445","2006AP8985","2017KB2981"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"42","id":"THES49806"},"free":"","case":"WN4","shelf":"2","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Dish","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iznik","id":"x32510"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1585-1590","earliest":"1580-01-01","latest":"1590-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Salting Bequest","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"30.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"3.9","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Narrow-rimmed dish with a bird, Turkey (probably Iznik), ca. 1585-1590.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Atil, Esin, <u>The Age of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent</u>.
