Fritware Glaze Glazed Painted
Fiziksel açıklama
Square tile of fritware (also called stone paste), painted under the glaze in two shades of blue. The central lozenge is filled with a formal pattern consisting of eight complex, composite blossoms of the hatâyî type, which are linked by curving stems, and a central rosette, to which four looped stems are connected. The corners are filled with a pattern of cloud bands, which appear as white in the dark-blue ground.
