Ensemble de cinq carreaux de pavement, Perse et Espagne XIXe siècle

comprising three Qajar underglaze-painted tiles, a Qajar 'famille rose' tile; and a cuenca pottery tile

Provenance
Property from a Royal Collection.
The present lot features a cuenca tile, which differs from its Qajar counterparts in the technique employed for separating the colours in the design. Following the Cuenca technique, colours are prevented from bleeding into one another during firing by raised, moulded borders. An example of a 16th Century cuenca tile is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Acc. No. 184-1853.
