Provenance
Formerly in the Bompard collection.
The colour red was introduced to Iznik pottery in the late 1550s at the same time as emerald green. A dense slip composed of red clay was applied in relief under the glaze causing the red areas to be raised. The present lot was made during the transitional period when raised red was still in an experimental phase.
