TURQUIE OTTOMANE, XVIIE SIÈCLE

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The glaze is in good condition and the colours strong, with a slight colour run to the green as is typical for a dish of this period in Iznik production. There is light chipping around the rim. There are some faint turquoise pigment marks on the exterior cavetto. On the base is an old collection sticker, and another on the exterior cavetto. There is an area of loss to the foot. A hole has been drilled into the foot for display purposes.
