This dish can be attributed to early 16th century Syria on technical grounds. Both the body and the glaze are similar to the two dishes of similar form in the following lot. The thin black line decoration under a crackled off-white glaze can be paralelled in an important pottery qiblah indicator in the Musée de Damas. This latter piece is datable, due to its inscription in the name of the Ottoman Sultan Selim after his occupation of Egypt, to 1517-20AD.
