Dish with stenciled decoration
Doccia Porcelain Manufactory|Marchese Carlo Ginori
ca. 1745 · Hard-paste porcelain painted with cobalt blue under transparent glaze · European Sculpture and Decorative Arts
The blue-and-white decorative scheme of this plate is a clear allusion to Chinese porcelains decorated in this manner, while the stylization of the floral decoration—for which stencils were used—alludes to styles found in the Iznik pottery of Turkey.
