Lot Essay

The blue and white decoration of this dish which consists of four floral sprays arranged around a central rosette shows a marked Chinese influence. Similar layout can also be found in blue and white dishes published by Atasoy and Raby, 1989, p.240, cat.444 and 446. The authors attribute those dishes to between 1570 and 1575.
