Museum of Islamic Art Mug - Orange Iznik Carnation
QR 95.00
A mug inspired by an Iznik dish, a part of the Museum of Islamic Art collection. Carnations and tulips dominate the composition of the dish produced by the potters of Iznik in early Ottoman Turkey (c. 982-983 AH/1575-1580 CE). Flowers were a popular subject for Iznik pottery, recalling the Ottoman enthusiasm for gardening and flower cultivation. Although constrained artificially within the circle, the carnation flowers are depicted with naturalism and attention to detail.
