Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Turkish pottery at Iznik, ancient Nicaea, supplied the Ottoman court with luxurious vessels and tiles. One of the great glories of the Ottoman art at its peak period, the designs combine Turkish motifs with elements transposed from imported Chinese blue-and white porcelain. The examples illustrated in this text are mostly drawn from the British Museum.
