This is a stunning example of an 18thc Canakkale large plate or dish.It is as usual slip glazed then painted in an abstract underglaze blue pattern with turquoise areas and brown scrolling.Measuring 16in or 40cm across this piece is in excellent condition with no chipping only some minor frits.There are no repairs or cracks.Again from the same collection this is rather heavy.I suggest that anyone interested in this and the other pieces I am listing check the anomolous pieces from Canakkale in the V&A's collection.The Canakkale potteries were one of the three major potteries of Turkey the other two working in fritware,namely Iznik and Kutahya.I will be listing a very rare late 19thc Kuutahya dish signed by the man who revived the kiln in the 1880's so please have a look over the next few days as I will also be listing some Ottoman silver with Tughras and other very fine Middle Eastern silver works.
I am open to any reasonable offers on my listings and will ship anywhere in the world.
