A similar jug, decorated with alternating saz leaves and tulips is in the Victoria and Albert Museum (inv.no.1561-1904; published Nurhan Atasoy and Julian Raby, Iznik, The Pottery of Ottoman Turkey, London, 1989, pp.270-271, no.594). That example has English parcel-gilt silver mounts, and is dated to circa 1580-85.
