In the catalogue for the The Indian Heritage exhibiton, Simon Digby describes the flowering plants of this dish as recalling the pietra dura decoration of the great mid-17th century marble buildings of Agra and Delhi. He argues however that here they have acquired what he terms a 'baroque bravura' (op.cit., p.142).
