Footed Dish with Foliate Rim in Imitation of Chinese Porcelain

ca. 1570–80
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 460
Many Ottoman sultans were avid collectors of Chinese porcelains, and the importation of these wares had a profound effect on regional ceramic production. The floral scrolls, foliate rim, and palette of this Iznik bowl reproduce those of a fifteenth-century Chinese prototype. The unusual addition of a raised foot on this piece, however, appears to be an Ottoman invention.
