Dish

early 15th century

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 205

Development of this type of European ceramic was to some degree spurred by the introduction of glazed wares from the Islamic world, which, in turn, echoed the colored glazes of China. Until the introduction of Chinese porcelain in the early sixteenth century and the subsequent development of porcelain in the early eighteenth, earthenwares with tin glazes were the most widely produced ceramics in Europe.
