This is an exceedingly rare piece of Canakkale though the design is recognisable from the more usual brown glazed pieces.It would date to the earliest period of thee pottery which is late 17th early 18thc.It is decorated in underglaze blue and brown with a central floral motif and aband of oranges or other fruit,The border is a meandering brown or dark aubergine.
As with all these pieces it is slip glazed on a pottery body in this case a buff colour with a wide flat foot.It is then painted in blue and brown and clear glazed over top.A very attractive piece in good condition with only minor fritting to rim.This is from the same collection as the others I am listing.
The dish of relatively light weight for its size has a diameter of 13 3/4in or 34.5 cm.
These pieces are becoming very sought after but there is still much research to be done on them.As can be seen from the back this has been excavated.
