About the Item
Persian-Turkish Faience Plate with Carnation Motif – Julius Lessing, Berlin 1890
Description:
A richly detailed chromolithograph from Julius Lessing’s Persisch-Türkische Fayencen (Persian-Turkish Faience), published by Ernst Wasmuth in Berlin, 1890, as part of Vorbilder-Hefte aus dem Königlichen Kunstgewerbe-Museum, Heft 11. This plate (Tafel 9) reproduces a 16th-century faience dish from the celebrated collection of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin.
The print captures the exquisite ornamentation of an Iznik plate decorated with scrolling floral patterns and stylized carnations — one of the most recognizable elements in Ottoman ceramic art. The design features large composite blossoms surrounded by delicate stems of smaller flowers and leaves, harmoniously arranged across a pale blue background. A border of alternating blossoms and buds encircles the rim, unifying the pattern within a rhythmic botanical framework.
Rendered in deep cobalt blue, coral red, turquoise, white, and sage green, the palette reflects the distinct color harmony of 16th-century Iznik pottery, famous for its refinement and luminosity. The central floral arrangement radiates elegance and serenity, exemplifying the synthesis of Persian-inspired motifs and Ottoman artistry that defined the era’s ceramics.
Drawn by Max Koch and printed by the distinguished Berlin lithographer Ernst Wasmuth, this chromolithograph belongs to one of the most influential late 19th-century series documenting decorative arts worldwide. Under the direction of Julius Lessing (1843–1908), the *Vorbilder-Hefte* publications aimed to provide authentic visual references for artists, architects, and craftsmen, promoting appreciation for the ornament traditions of Islamic, Asian, and European art.
