Here, a tulip, a spray of double roses and buds, and a carnation with three flowers are framed by two sprigs of prunus blossom. The potter has used shades of blue and purple for the plants. A dark sage green is confined to the petal border around the area of blue ground.\r\n\r\nAfter 1520, Iznik potters gradually expanded their range of colours. By 1550, they were using blue, turquoise, sage green, tones of mauve and purple, and a greenish black. They often used these colours, as here, to depict sprays of flowers that rise from a small clump of leaves.","physicalDescription":"Fritware dish with polychrome underglaze painting depicting large floral motifs in the early Iznik palette.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"glazing","id":"AAT53914"},{"text":"painting","id":"x30598"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, polychrome underglaze painted in cobalt, turquoise, green and manganese, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"}],"styles":[{"text":"Iznik","id":"AAT21623"},{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006BK2425","2007BL9059","2006BK2419","2018KT0855"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"42 (VA)","id":"THES49806"},"free":"","case":"WN7","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":"1545-1555","earliest":"1545-01-01","latest":"1555-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Salting Bequest","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Diameter","value":"27.1","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"3.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Dish with prominent floral motifs, Turkey (probably Iznik), 1545-1555.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Lane, Arthur.
