About this work

This plate was made in the town of Iznik in western Anatolia. Its decoration copies that of the Chinese plate displayed alongside, but in a looser, more fluid style. Chinese porcelain greatly influenced the ceramics industry in Iznik, for Chinese blue-and-white porcelain was highly valued by the Ottoman court in Istanbul.
