Context:

With its exuberant and confident design of surging artichokes, this dish is a spectacular example of Iznik ware's finest and most inventive period of production: the so-called "Damascus phase." Vigorous and emphatic plant designs--painted in green, light and dark blue, and sometimes purple--characterize vessels of the Damascus phase, which spanned the 1530s to 1550s. Theses decades mark the high point of Ottoman art during the reign of Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent (reigned 1520-1566).
