Dish

C. 1700, India

colorless glass gilded and decorated with yellow, light green, blue, and red enamel

Artisans in Mughal India integrated flowers into their geometric compositions. The trellis design on this dish—created by applying yellow enamel to the exterior of the dish, and gilding and enameling the interior with yellow, light green, blue, and red—presents a three-dimensional effect to the viewer.
