A porphyry artist's palette and associated pestle, India, 19th century or earlierOf hexagonal shape and deep red colour, the edge with groove, to one end an oval indentation, the pestle widening towards the rounded base,29cm long x 16.8cm diam(2)Provenance: Formerly in the collection of Oliver Hoare published Jean Claude Cianciminio, Every Object Tells a Story, Cromwell Place, 2017; by repute Spink & SonsWhile the Romans mined porphyry on an industrial scale for three centuries and more, the Byzantines recycled it on a post-industrial scale for much longer. Constantine’s column in Istanbul has five great drums of carved porphyry; Santa Sophia is splattered with it; the official delivery room for pregnant empresses in the Great Palace of Constantinople was called the ‘Porphyra’. And so, when the Ottoman Turks took over in 1453, they came into possession of a great deal of the stone, much of it recycled yet again into the decoration of their mosques and palaces. There are even Iznik tile borders in Topkapi Palace imitating porphyry. This bar of it has been transformed into a vessel to grind mineral pigments, and surely belonged to a painter. It is evidence of a tradition of making beautiful artefacts and tools connected with calligraphy and painting

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
