Notes
Around the mid-10th/mid-16th century, the color scheme of Iznik vessels expanded to include bright red and bright grass green. The exquisite slab with lavish flowers and lower borders are painted to mimic slate marble that may have come from the royal quarters of Topkapi Palace, Istanbul. Pieces of this type, whether wall tiles or vessels, show the great variety of decoration used by Iznik pottery makers, which include the widely used tulips, lush, thick pink branches, pointed and curled leaves, and decoration with thick calligraphy. They also help illustrate the different stages of embroidery on Iznik vessels, which in turn reflects the development of Ottoman taste in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in a range of mediums (means of expression).
