DescriptionThis deep, brightly colored dish represents a type of pottery known as Iznik ware. Originated in the town of Iznik in present-day Turkey, these wares are known for their bright colors and lively designs. This dish features a ground filled with green and blue scales. Two feather-like leaves with serrated edges criss cross across the dish. This style, known as saz, is attributed to Shah Quli, an immigrant artist from Iran who was employed as head of the Ottoman court during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent (r.1520–1566 CE).On View
