An Ottoman turquoise and black 'Dome of the Rock' pottery...
Property from a private collection of tiles
An Ottoman turquoise and black 'Dome of the Rock' pottery tile
Syria, probably Aleppo, 16th Century
of rectangular form, decorated in black under a turquoise glaze with a central split-palmette surrounded by partial lotus flowerheads
19.8 x 14.5 cm. max.
None of these turquoise and black 'Dome of the Rock' type tiles survive in situ, however Arthur Millner argues that Aleppo appears to be their likely origin (A. Millner, Damascus Tiles, London, 2015, p. 299, Fig 6.127). For two similar tiles sold at Christie's, see Art & Textiles of the Islamic & Indian Worlds Including Works from the Collection of the Late Simon Digby, 7 October 2011, lot 190.
