It is rare to find moulded 14th century star tiles without the inscription border which typifies so many, such as those in lot 148. One comparable blue and white example with slightly different drawing is in the Keir Collection (Grube, Ernst: Islamic Pottery of the Eighth to the Fifteenth Century in the Keir Collection, London, 1976, no.200, pp.258-9). That tile also includes the shaded design found here of diagonal hatching running parallel to a string of dots. Similar designs and filler motifs are also found on a tile dated AH 729/1328 AD in the British Museum (Porter, Venetia: Islamic Tiles, London, 1995, pl.50, p.54).
