Antique Asian Fritware Blue and White Porcelain Dish Marked Underglaze 9".
Fritware dish, painted in blue under a transparent glazeur.
The influence of the Far East is one of the characteristic elements in early Iranian art, as a direct result of the commercial and diplomatic links between the Timurids and Ming-dynasty China.
This dish belongs to a group of Timurid ceramics.
Costly porcelain was used by the social elite, something that undoubtedly encouraged local ceramists to make very high-quality copies.
