AN ISLAMIC-REVIVAL KUTAHYA-STYLE GILT POTTERY VASE Possibly Samson manufacture, France, late 19th centuryOf slender pyriform shape, resting on a short straight circular foot, with a tall tapering neck, the translucent white body painted in cobalt blue and turquoise, embellished with overglaze-enamelled gold decoration in the shape of cusped diamond-shaped cartouches infilled with arabesques, vegetal scrolling bands, and lush leafy palmettes on blue ground, alternating blue and white palmettes below the rim, the base unmarked.37cm high In the 19th century, collecting Islamic works of art became a major trend across Europe, which led several European potters to draw inspiration from the captivating shapes of Islamic artworks and produce their own interpretation of them. Turkish wares such as Kutahya and Iznik were one of the favourite models frequently ‘reinvented’ by European makers such as Samson and Theodore Deck in France, B.F.K. in Belgium and Cantagalli in Italy. For a similar pair of vases, please see Chiswick Auctions, 28 April 2023, lot 461. 37cm high Qty: 1

A large and impressive Iznik “Damascus” style high footed pottery basin (tazza), Ulisse Cantagalli, Florence, northern Italy, circa 1880, The rounded body rising from a slightly waisted foot to a straight lip, the blue, turquoise blue, green and red painted decoration consisting of bold elegant floral spray, one to the well within a medallion of simplified strapwork picked in red, and a repetition thereof to the cavetto, a thin register of a stylised ropework above, the exterior with bolder and larger floral blooms and serrated saaz leaves borne by a swaying tendril, on white ground, the base with maker’s mark painted in black,42cm. diam., 27cm. highProvenance: Purchased from Lady Manton, Houghton Hall in East Yorkshire over 40 years ago for £100Footnotes: The oversize blooms born by scrolling tendrils, elegantly swaying saaz leaves, and the bold flowers with lobed petals recalls two stunning Iznik works : a blue and white mosque-lamp-shaped vase, and a pottery tile panel. The first dated to the 3rd quarter of 16th century is kept at the David Collection in Copenhagen (inv. 18/1967), the second, circa 1550 - 1650 and attributed to Syria, at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge (inv. C.5-1909).Our large basin's blooms mirror the decoration of the vase seen on the panel at the Fitzwilliam Museum from which rises an impressive flower bouquet and flanked with cypresses. Its wide scrolling tendril with lobed petals flowers are clearly seen on the blue-and-white vase in Copenhagen. Here, on our lot, Ulisse Cantagalli, like other late 19th century European ceramicists such as Samson, Lachenal, Deck and others, was extremely successful in replicating these mid-16th Ottoman patterns marrying them onto the exterior of this work and rendering the exact tones of the colours seen on the Cambridge panel.Condition Report: With a very fine hairline crack to one side, minor chips to rim
