This dish shows the problems the potters could have, even with a glaze that was usually as reliable as the cobalt-blue. In two places this colour has fired as a black rather than the blue that it should have been. It may have been the same feature of this colour that resulted in the few dishes of the 1540s that have a design in black that one would normally expect in blue.
