Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

This polychrome dish is made of stonepaste with underglaze painting (p. 127). The design is described as freehand and asymmetric, featuring motifs like the S-shaped Saz leaf, prunus flowers, hyacinths, carnations, and palmettes (p. 127).

Evidence

"The green plant motifs, red and blue floral motifs are outlined in brownish-black pigment."

Remarks

The entry refers to an Iznik Dish (AIA.0077.2000). The composition is notable for its asymmetric arrangement and the use of 'early classic Iznik tile motifs' such as tulips, peonies, and stylized medallion cartouches (p. 127). The rim of the dish features clusters of small-scale spirals executed in brownish-black outlines (p. 127-128).
