About this work

Tile tableau of four tiles decorated with a continuous pattern of palmettes, leaf forms and flowers. On each tile one palmette leaf. Together these palmettes of turquoise blue form the frame within which a large red serrated leaf is set as the central piece. The palmettes and leaves themselves are set with flower forms, tulips, rosette-shaped small flowers and leaves. The white ground shows a drawing of blue rosette-shaped small flowers sprouting from continuous stems. The whole in dark and lighter blue, nuance ultramarine, turquoise blue and red on white ground. Turkish. Part of the white in the ground is stained by a grease stain under the glaze.
