Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This grape dish pattern was later to become the most influential design model for Iznik potters making blue-and-white wares in the 1530s and 1540s. These antique Chinese Yuan and early Ming fourteenth- and fifteenth-century models were then owned by the Turkish court.Another Chinese dish of this form and decoration, bearing the mark of Qarachaghay is in the Ardebil shrine. A further dish of this type is in the Eli Lilly Collection in the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
