They were often found in grand palaces and modest homes alike, adding aesthetic beauty while also communicating cultural significance. The Ottoman Empire's love of decorative tilework was rooted in a deep appreciation for the artistry, technical skill, and cultural richness of Islamic art.Size: L:305mm / W:305mm ; 3.9kgProvenance: From the collection of a London gentleman; formerly in a collection of A. Kotlar, since the 1970s.
