This dish is an example of the Chinese design most frequently copied by Iznik potters. In each example the design is subtly changed, and between 1530 and 1600, a development can be observed whereby the design becomes further and further removed from the Chinese original. Here, the centre is quite true to the Chinese original, but the border is typical of Iznik of the 1570s. For a more detailed discussion on the Chinese grape design on Iznik dishes, see the note accompanying lot 223.
