Tiles of this design are found in the Husrev Celebi/Ramazan Effendi mosque in Kocamustafapasha dating from 1585-6 AD (Öz, Tahsin: Turkish Ceramics, Istanbul, n.d., pl.103; see also Kuran, Aptullah: Sinan, Washington D.C., 1987, pp.42-3). A similar example, which replaces the tulips found here with peonies, is in the Museum of Islamic Art, Qatar (Carswell, John: Iznik, Pottery for the Ottoman Empire, Qatar, 2003, no.20, pp.78-9).
