ملاحظات
The shape of this bottle is derived from metalwork but the floral decoration is typical of Iznik ceramics. By the 1530s, small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers were a common motif on vessels made in the town in north-west Anatolia. The Ottoman court renewed its patronage of Iznik ceramics during the construction of the Süleymaniye mosque in Istanbul in 1550 to 1557. The first Iznik tiles were produced, and potters added a bright red to the range of colours painted under the glaze. This was achieved with a slip made from a special clay. In the following decades, tiles of high quality were decorated in red, green and tones of blue on a white ground. Dishes, bottles and other vessels had similar decoration on white or coloured grounds.
Tarihsel bağlam
By the 1530s the potters of Iznik had begun to use freely-drawn, semi-realistic floral motifs in their designs, a change from the tightly-organized, semi-abstract designs of previous decades. This bottle shows spotted tulips "sprouting" from turquoise crescent- or eye-like motifs.
