Evidence
"Inscriptions written in ink on the bases of some porcelain bowls give some indication of the ways in which vessels were assigned new purposes on entry into the collection."
Remarks
The Topkapi Saray collection contains Chinese porcelain bowls (dated to the late 14th or 15th century) that have ink inscriptions on their bases (p. 79, 80). These inscriptions served as functional labels or ownership marks, such as 'chicken kebab' (tavuk kebabi), indicating the dish the vessel was intended to hold (p. 79).
