Notes
A quartz-paste jug (frit), with a bulbous, pear-shaped body, resting on a low, ring-shaped base. The neck is cylindrical and expands towards a lipless opening, with a curved loop connecting the upper edge to the shoulder. Both the body and neck are covered with scale-shaped patterns colored in alternating blue and green, surrounded by bisected palmate fronds. Below the edge and around the lower part of the body there is a braid, and around the lower part of the neck there is a narrow white frame with soft details. The decoration covering the jug resembles contemporary decorations on metal pieces, indicating the extent to which the same decorations were used among pieces made of different materials during the Ottoman period.
