Discount Iznik Garden Oil Cruet And Dipping Bowl Set Tableware

Art-Inspired Gifts For The Home.

This Artful Set Features A Selection Of Exuberant Motifs Found On Ceramic Treasures In The Museum’S Islamic Art Collection. Three Of The Four Designs Were Crafted During The 16Th Century In Turkey’S Renowned Iznik Kilns—Illustrious Workshops That Produced Magnificent Ceramic Wares For The Ottoman Court—While A 16Th–17Th-Century Tile Panel With A Wavy-Vine Motif Was Probably Crafted At One Of The Ceramic Tile Workshops Outside Iznik In The Ottoman Province Of Syria. The Syrian Panel Represents One Of The Ceramic Tile Workshops Outside Iznik, Bearing Slight Differences In Size And Execution: Each Tile Is Slightly Larger Than The Standard Size Used At Iznik, And Subtle Deviations In The Freehand Design Were Almost Never Seen On Iznik Productions. The Lush Scene Reproduced On Our Porcelain Oil Cruet And One Of The Dipping Bowls Comes From A Painted Stonepaste Dish (Ca. 1575–90) Adorned With Colorful Carnations, Tulips, And Hyacinths, As Well As Two Small Birds Subtly Perched Amid The Tangle. A Popular Ottoman Literary Trope, Birds And Flowers Were Pervasive Decorative Elements On 16Th- And 17Th-Century Iznik Creations.
