This week we’re highlighting some of the beautiful tiles in the Museum’s collection, reflecting art and design styles from around the world.
This set of four brightly-painted tiles would have been part of a group covering a large surface area, as can be seen today in Turkey in the tiled interiors of many major buildings of the Ottoman period. Large leaves intertwine with smaller leafy stems and blue flowers against a serene white background. The regular pattern overlaps the borders of the four tiles, and can continue endlessly with the addition of identical tiles.
The distinctive flame red is a striking feature of late Iznik pottery. It comes from an iron-rich red earth, or bole, found in Armenia. The potters of Iznik applied it thickly to their stonepaste wares, beneath a clear glaze. The result is a bright underglaze red – a technical innovation at the time. Tilework with blue, green and especially bole red decoration became highly fashionable between the 1550s and 1570s in Istanbul, when Ottoman sultans and officials sponsored large and elaborate building projects. These projects almost completely occupied the workshops of Iznik, to the near exclusion of other production.
