Interlaced roundels of white arabesques forming a six-sided interlace design against a darker ground are a feature which appears in some of the earliest period blue and white Iznik ceramics (Nurhan Atasoy and Julian Raby: Iznik, the Pottery of Ottoman Turkey, London, 1989, pl.303, for example), and is indeed a feature of contemporaneous Ottoman design in various media. While a relatively late example, this dish retains the flow of the design much better than many others of the period.
