This striking tile is a fine example of Iznik production at its height. Rather than the use of black outline which was introduced some years later, the cobalt blue is used in two shades - the darker shade is used to form the outline of the saz leaves as well as the stylised floral palmettes and stems. 
This piece will be offered in our 11 December Islamic & Indian Art auction.
