Square Tile Depicting Clouds 17th century This square tile would have been originally part of a larger decorative scheme, and has been created using the cuerda seca decorative technique. Literally "dry cord" this process involved applying a wax border between colored glazes in order to prevent them from mixing during the firing process. Cuerda seca replaced mosaics as a more cost effective and faster polychrome technique. During the Safavid period, design motifs with dense clusters of flowers such as chrysanthemums or Chinoiserie lotuses on winding scrolls with feathery leaves were common designs. This one is executed in a particularly vibrant color scheme.. Square Tile Depicting Clouds. 17th century. Stonepaste; polychrome glaze within black wax resist outlines (cuerda seca technique).

Dish in the Shape of a Princess. Culture: Japan. Dimensions: H. 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm); W. 8 in. (20.3 cm); L. 11 1/4 in. (28.6 cm). Date: 1690-1700s.This unusual dish is in the shape of a Heian court lady, identified by her sumptuous, multilayered attire and flowing black hair. The Heian period occurred several centuries before this piece was made, but was remembered as a high point in Japanese culture. It was a time of vibrant court life, when court ladies were becoming involved in literary pursuits; the beauty Ono no Komachi was composing poetry at this time, and the author Murasaki Shikibu penned her famous novel The Tale of Genji. People of the Edo period, when this dish was made, would have recognized a Heian noblewoman's appearance from the beautiful handscrolls that depicted stories from that era.Although this dish was produced at the Arita kilns, which are mainly associated with export porcelain, it was intended for a Japanese buyer.
