Lot 99: AN IZNIK POTTERY DISH, TURKEY, LATE 16TH CENTURY

A beautifully painted Iznik pottery dish from Ottoman Turkey, dating to the late 16th century. The shallow dish is decorated in a palette of cobalt blue, turquoise, green, and bole red under a clear glaze, centered with a lively composition of flowering stems bearing tulips, carnations, and rosettes—classic motifs of the Ottoman imperial style. The floral sprays rise from a leafy base, set against a milky white ground, enclosed by a border of rhythmic spirals in olive-green.
