拍品專文

The form of this dish, with its very small cavetto and low flat rim derives from European prototypes. A number of similar form bear European armorials (Nurhan Atasoy and Julian Raby: Iznik, the Pottery of Ottoman Turkey, London, 1989, nos.575-586, pp.264-5. Another example with European arms was sold in these Rooms 27 April 1993, lot 201). The later examples of this form seem to be typified, as here, by a particularly energetic swirling floral design used in the border.
