Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to a style of blue-and-white pottery decoration done in Italy beginning in the 15th century in imitation of Damascus wares. This decorative technique developed in response to the popularity of imported East Asian pottery. Sometimes the term is used synonymously with "alla porcellana" which is better described as a different type of decoration.
