Plate with Isnik floral and foliate pattern 1881

This plate, crafted by the renowned Minton pottery in 1881, showcases the intricate beauty of Isnik floral and foliate patterns. The white porcelain ground serves as a striking canvas for the elaborate design executed in gold, silver, and red enamels. The interlacing floral motifs, characteristic of Isnik style, are meticulously rendered, creating a sense of depth and movement. This exquisite piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, exemplifies the enduring influence of Ottoman decorative arts on European ceramics.
