This charming tile is one of only two known tiles of this design, the other housed in the Musée du Louvre, Paris (inv.no.7033, see Sophie Makariou and Charlotte Maury (eds.), Three empires of Islam: Istanbul, Isfahan, Delhi : Master pieces of the Louvre collection, Valencia, 2008, p.302, no.108-B). The design, reserved against a 'whipped' blue ground is particularly well-controlled and the organisation of the floral sprays and the drawing of the blue tulips is related to a dish in the present sale, see lot 69. The masterful control of the glaze, in particular the red slip, was incredibly difficult to achieve and displays the remarkable skill of our artist. The high quality of the drawing on this tile is further emphasised by the restrained arrangement of flowers purposefully placed to fill the polylobed medallions.
