By the 1530s, small sprays of tulips and other recognisable flowers were a common motif on Iznik ceramics. From the 1550s these were replaced by compositions on a larger scale, such as this design.","physicalDescription":"Fritware tankard with straight body, handle entending from lip to base with square-shape opening. Body white slip painted with lobed motifs in cobalt blue on a red background. Inside each appears a second similarly shaped motif in red and inside that a cobalt blue leaf shape. A single band of twisted rope design in white, blue and red occurs around the neck, while a plain undecorated band occurs around the mid-section of the vessel. The handle is white with cobalt blue marks scribbled randomly.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"stonepaste","id":"x36411"},{"text":"glaze","id":"AAT15091"},{"text":"fritware","id":"x29419"}],"techniques":[{"text":"underglazing","id":"AAT48642"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Fritware, polychrome underglaze painted, glazed","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Islam","id":"THES48932"}],"styles":[{"text":"Iznik","id":"AAT21623"},{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AF6065","2017KB2985"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"42 (VA)","id":"THES49806"},"free":"","case":"WN7","shelf":"3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Mug","id":""}],[{"text":"tankard","id":"AAT43256"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Iznik","id":"x32510"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1585","earliest":"1580-01-01","latest":"1589-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Salting Bequest","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Width","value":"15.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"maximum","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"19.7","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"Abstract designs in Iznik wares are associated with the Murad III's reign. The most common type is the fish scale pattern.
