Iznik Border Tile.
Ottoman Turkey, Late 16th century.
Fritware with underglaze decoration.
27.5cm high, 21cm wide.
The larger section of this Iznik border tile is comprised of interlocking scrolling arabesques, highlighted with turquoise and red, against a deep blue background. The smaller section is decorated with a carnation, a tulip, and saz leaves against a red ground, all of which are typical of the period 1560-1580.1 The use of red dates this piece to after 1550, when Iznik potters discovered a type of slip which turned red when fired.
