A LARGE SAFAVID BLUE AND WHITE CHINESE INSPIRED POTTERY DISH Safavid Iran, 17th century Resting on a disc foot, the rim underglaze-painted with Chinese-inspired ribbons, the cavetto carved with floral hidden decoration imitating the anhua Chinese prototypes, and the central roundel filled with a triumph of flowers among tendrils. The reverse painted with a cloud-like line and three pseudo-marks at the base. The blue and white Safavid production was inspired by Chinese porcelain imported via the Silk Road and maritime trade. These wares were typically made of fritware and decorated with cobalt-blue underglaze designs on a white or creamy background. Common motifs included floral patterns and arabesques, often blending Chinese-inspired aesthetics with distinctly Persian decorative attitude. 42.4cm diameter Condition: some restoration.
