DescriptionOttoman ceramic design, known as Iznik ware after the city in which it was produced, was heavily influenced by Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. With delicate, blue peonies swimming in interlacing stems, the design of this Ottoman dish mimics the characteristic of Ming porcelain during the Yongle period of the early 1400s. This type of porcelain is characterized by intricately sculpted flowers with jagged-edged leaves.On View
