More Information
This dish, decorated with metallic glaze, is an example of a ceramic tradition begun centuries before it was made. By the time of this dish, however, production of “lusterware” ceramics had begun to slow. Changing fashion and a decline in the expertise needed to produce such objects were factors in the slowdown.
