This dish belongs to a group of ceramics known as Kubachi ware. Named for a village in the Caucasus where this pottery was discovered in quantity, Kubachi wares are now thought to have actually been produced in Tabriz. One attribute of the Kubachi style is an uneven application of the glaze that has resulted in a surface-wide crackle. Dirt has seeped into the cracklure, discoloring the underlying body to a brownish tint.Like so many ceramics produced in Iran during the Safavid Period, the style and decoration of this dish was inspired by the highly-regarded Chinese porcelain. The central lotus flower, use of blue and white coloring, as well as the wave pattern on the flat rim illustrate the Chinese influences in this pieceFree picture Dish with a Lotus Design integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
