Persian-Turkish Faience Plate with Floral Medallion – Julius Lessing, Berlin 1890
Description:
A refined chromolithograph from Persisch-Türkische Fayencen (Persian-Turkish Faience), published by Ernst Wasmuth, Berlin, in 1890 as part of Vorbilder-Hefte aus dem Königlichen Kunstgewerbe-Museum, Heft 11, under the editorship of Julius Lessing. This print (Tafel 10) depicts an 18th-century Persian-Turkish faience plate from the collection of the Royal Museum of Decorative Arts in Berlin (Kgl. Kunstgewerbe-Museum Berlin).
The plate features a beautifully stylized floral design centered on a symmetrical leaf and blossom medallion. Surrounding this are delicate branches bearing tulips, carnations, and rosettes — motifs deeply rooted in the decorative vocabulary of Ottoman ceramics. The border, adorned with alternating red and blue blossoms, completes the harmonious circular composition.
Executed in soft shades of turquoise, brick red, and celadon green on a warm ivory background, the design demonstrates the late Ottoman era’s graceful reinterpretation of classical Iznik ornamentation. While retaining Persian influence in the rhythm and symmetry of its layout, this piece reflects the lighter, more ornamental character of 18th-century faience production — an evolution from the bolder color schemes of the 16th and 17th centuries.
Drawn by Max Koch and printed by the *Artist. Anstalt von Ernst Wasmuth*, this lithograph exemplifies the exceptional quality and precision of the *Vorbilder-Hefte* series, which brought world art treasures to a broader public. Julius Lessing’s pioneering project preserved and shared the artistic traditions of Islamic and Oriental design, significantly influencing European decorative arts and architecture during the late 19th century.
