This 19th-century dish, produced by the renowned Cantagalli of Florence, is a stunning example of Iznik-style ceramics. The dish features a white ground with vibrant floral motifs in shades of red, blue, green, and gold, showcasing a masterful application of traditional Iznik techniques. The intricately rendered floral patterns, including tulips, carnations, and roses, fill the surface of the dish, evoking the rich and vibrant flora of the Ottoman Empire. This dish, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, represents the enduring influence of Iznik ceramics on European art and design.
