|
Decorative Plates0 viewsThese pieces departed from strict Islamic tradition by depicting scenes with people as well as animals.
|
|
Tea Service0 views17 pieces, in a velvet-lined case.
|
|
Tea Time0 viewsAnother tea service, this time in blue velvet.
|
|
Flight of Fancy2 viewsI'm not sure what sort of creatures the artist intended to represent here, but the juxtaposition of the animal and floral life was superbly executed.
|
|
Maritime Motif0 viewsNote the Nazar Boncuğu on the sails.
|
|
Fleet of Fancy0 viewsSimilar to the previous, apparently by the same artist, but unique.
|
|
Fanciful Fishes0 viewsFortunately my camera had a built-in flash; otherwise I wouldn't have been able to shoot legible pictures in the dimly lit shop.
|
|
Aquarium on a Vase1 viewsAquatic themes were a favorite motif for plates and vases.
|
|
Potpourri2 viewsThis room featured a wide variety of ceramics, including the hexagonal tiles, which I saw few of elsewhere. Rather at odds with the rest of the display is the cheap-looking faux-marble Ionic column in the center, which appears to be an unfinished, ill-conceived and poorly integrated addition to the room.
|
|
A Room Full of Tiles1 viewsA tour de force of beautiful and varied tilework.
|
|
A Shelf Full of Dinnerware1 viewsPlates on the lower shelves, condiment vessels on the top shelf, and platters hanging on the wall above.
|
|
Two Exceptional Plates0 viewsThese seemed to be a cut above many of the others.
