The cypress tree as a decorative element was first used in blue and white on hexagonal tiles in the mosque of Murad II in Edirne around 1435, probably influenced by porcelain motifs of the Yuan period in China. In a religious architectural context the cypress tree can be used to relate to the first letter of the alphabet, 'alif. On dishes it appears in the third quarter of the 16th Century and forms a distinct part of the decorative theme of the garden. Examples of dishes featuring this motif are in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, Lisbon (Inv. Nos. 828, 840 & 843).
