My curator discussion post covers Dishes from the Ancient World, including Islamic, Greek and Roman, and Medieval Art. Just by looking at the art pieces, we see that some have similarities even though they are from different cultures. For example, "Dish with Horse and Rider" and "Dish with Lion" both have animals on the dish, as well as the same color scheme (turquoise with darker backgrounds). Another example is Artwork 2 and 3 both were used by the same kind of pottery, earthenware. There are various connections between the art work, especially since they were all relatively made around the same time. We look at Artwork 1 and 3 and they are still whole pieces, as opposed to Artwork 2. Even though there's just a piece left from Artwork 2, to our knowledge we know that it held such importance to past cultures. Today, these pieces of art are sacred because they had multiple uses. They show such unique pottery work, as well as people using these dishes to eat off of or to hold/present items they wanted to display.

Marking: Arms: (on shields on inside border); Argent (white) six fleurs-de-lis noir (brown), 3, 2, 1, within border vert.

[These look more like the arms of Farnese--or, six fleurs-de-lis azure, 3, 2,1, than like the arms of "France ancien" which seem to have been semé de Fleurs-de-lis, and later, three fleurs-de-lis, 2,1. M.H.]

Dish

Belonging to the same group as cup 1970.36 (no. 26 in this catalogue), this dish is an unusually fine example of the type and the well-proportioned and finely drawn horse and rider is an atypical design for this ware
