یادداشتها
The shape of this jug or carafe is derived from leatherwork but the colourful decoration suggests that it was made in Iznik, north-west Anatolia. By the 1530s, small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers were a common motif on Iznik ceramics. From the 1550s these were replaced by compositions on a larger scale, as seen on the fish-scale ground on this piece. 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.
Tarihsel bağlam
This elegantly moulded carafe is one of the earliest examples of the use of a fish-scale decoration to add a sense of texture to a monochrome blue ground, a technique which became quite popular in the later sixteenth century.
