Description

After more than 20 years since the Gulbenkian’s Iznik pottery catalogue was published comes this book celebrating the impressive decorative repertoire; the great diversity, quantity and quality of Ottoman ceramic-ware gathered by Calouste Sarkis Gulbenkian. This publication is based on a selection of 80 representative objects from the early 16th century to the 17th century, when the industry entered its decline. After a brief history of the collection, the first part introduces the various types of ware according to their decoration, in broadly chronological order. The second part, which is dedicated to tiles, deals with large panels, frieze and border tiles, most of which are on permanent display in the Museum.
