Aquarium on a Vase251 viewsAquatic themes were a favorite motif for plates and vases.

Fleet of Fancy249 viewsSimilar to the previous, apparently by the same artist, but unique.

Calligraphy246 viewsI greatly enjoy the elegant stylized Arabic script decorating these plates, although for all I know it may say something like "Death to Infidels" or "You are the illegitimate offspring of an unholy union between a donkey and a camel."

Decorative Plates244 viewsThese pieces departed from strict Islamic tradition by depicting scenes with people as well as animals.

The Red Shelf243 viewsIn contrast to the dominant blue, this shelf featured red wares.

Elegant Vase243 viewsAn intricate abstract design matching the urn in the previous picture.

Fruit of the Wheel242 viewsThe lid has now been added, and the teapot is ready for decoration and firing in the kiln.

Rhapsody in Blue242 viewsAlthough other colors were not lacking, blue seemed to be the dominant color in this shop's inventory.

Vases, Urns and Plates238 viewsI wondered at the purpose of the indentations in the large plate at the top of the display.

Plate Close-up234 viewsOf the three plates on this shelf, my favorite combined a floral design with what appears to be a mishmash of Arabic script and Greek letters.

Hunting Scene233 viewsThis finely painted jug featured Turkish noblemen on horseback pursuing various wild animals.

Blue Plate Special232 viewsMany shades of blue, from very light to very dark.
