On one of the cups, a wild boar, on the other a doe in the center. Beautiful colors - bright and bright - in shades of greens and blues. Signatures. Inspiration from Iznik pottery from the XV - XVII centuries, pottery which was used to eat and serve food and functions related to religious worship. Around 1560 - 1600, it is the culmination of production with a rich repertoire of naturalistic motifs. It is the height of the Ottoman Empire. We then find colors turquoise, green, emerald, black, dark red with black outlines. In the 19th century, there is a tendency to collect Islamic works of art which become a real source of inspiration for Europeans. Thus, Iznik pottery is frequently copied by manufacturers such as Samson, Theodore Deck and Cantagalli. Good general condition, some signs of wear on the reverse. Alone or in pairs. Visible at the Courcelles Antiquités Gallery, at 41 rue des Acacias, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
