İznik Carnation Panel

ProMax

İznik Carnation Panel draws on the fritware wall tiles fired at İznik around 1580, when the court designer Kara Memi set coral carnations and swirling saz leaves across a luminous tin-white glaze. The palette is the mature İznik four: sealing-wax bole red, Kashan cobalt, emerald and copper turquoise, every color pinned by crisp black outlines. The system keeps that glaze-white ground bright and only faintly warm — never cream, never lazy pure white — so the raised coral red still catches the light.
