This bowl makes a very interesting comparison with that in the preceding lot. The designs are clearly similar, but the present example shows the development that had happened in a few years. The drawing is slightly looser, the colour slightly less intense, but with the addition of a brilliant turquoise. There is a simple elegance to the design, typical of the so-called 'potter's style'. The cypress trees again recall the bottle base in the Homaizi Collection now in Doha, and here they have the same meandering wavy lines articulating them. The exterior of the bowl is similar to that of a bowl in the Victoria and Albert Museum attributed to 1530-40 (Nurhan Atasoy and Julian Raby, Iznik, the Pottery of Ottoman Turkey, London, 1989, no.134, p.108). The interior of that bowl, in contrast to ours, was decorated in a simple version of the tughrakes style.
