Dish | Joseph-Théodore Deck (French, 1823-1891) | Paris, France, circa 1870 | Earthenware with underglaze and enamel polychrome decoration (&#x27;Persian&#x27; faience) | The decoration of this dish is derived from Turkish ceramics made in the town of Iznik between 15th-17th centuries. Although Deck borrowed Iznik colors and motifs, he did not make exact replicas of their designs. Instead he loosely adapted motifs, creating designs of his own invention | The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
