    Glazed ceramic cover plate, made in Iran during the Qâjâr dynasty, in the first half of the 19th century. The glazed decoration depicts a bird singing amidst a stylized floral motif, framed by a blue border with geometric motifs.

    Unlike the relief tiles often found on royal buildings, this plate is entirely decorated without relief, using a simpler technique typical of more common architectural ornamentation.

    Historical context
    Under the Qâjâr dynasty (1789-1925), Iran developed a large-scale production of decorative ceramics for palaces, mosques and private residences. Blue, the predominant color in Persian art, is used here to create a contrast with the light background and floral motifs, inspired by the decorative traditions of the period.
