Handmade & Hand Painted Turkish Ceramic Cat Figurine in Iznik Collection Blue Tail Up, Large Size.
In the early Ottoman period, the " blue-and-white" Iznik ceramics was dated. Various cobalt blue tones were the principal color with small touches of turquoise. Since early 16st Century, a rich palette of shades of cobalt blue, turquoise, green, black, brown, and the famous 'coral' or tomato red have appeared on Iznik ceramics.
The motifs usually consist of leaves, plants and flowers. There is a shift towards a more naturalistic style in which tulips, carnations, hyacinths, roses, spring blossoms, lilies, cypress trees, and clusters of grapes and vine leaves. Compositions are relaxed and free, offering greater scope for experimentation with new and richer arrangements.
