Syrian tile design Ottoman dynasty 16th century Coffee Mug
The tile is from the Ottoman dynasty, dating back to the 16th or 17th century and created by artists in Syria. It belongs to a group of ceramics sometimes referred to as Damascus or Syrian ware, closely related to Iznik ceramics. These wares were produced in Damascus in the mid-16th century when Ottoman Sultan Suleyman the Magnificent sent Iznik potters to restore tilework at the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. After their work was completed, these artisans settled in Damascus and continued to produce tiles and vessels. While similar in style to Iznik tiles, the ones made in Syria during the Ottoman period employed a different colour palette to depict vegetal and geometric forms. Unlike the crisp white ground and vibrant tomato red used in Iznik ceramics, Syrian tilework tended towards a more muted colour palette with natural greens and blues.

I like to buy and review my own work to ensure you get an outstanding product and I’m happy to give the Primary Colours Beach Football Mug 5 stars because it meets my expectations completely. Pleased with it I am. Zazzle mugs are well fabricated, microwave and dishwasher safe. And this yellow red and blue panoramic wraparound motif is sealed with a durable and sparkling Orca polished gloss glaze finish. It’ll never rub off! The size and energy of two jostling figures and a burly goal keeper fit the mug's circular shape well. There's momentum in the carousel effect as the two jostling figures repeat and move right around the mug and meet a burly goal keeper. Big sharp original images precisely drawn and delicately captured in blue and red with plenty of bright yellow! An ideal gift for anyone who plays ball! A fun gift for all beachball and football fans. A pair with the Retro Grey-Grain Beachball Player Mug. Available in two sizes and several styles including Black Ringer, Travelling, and Stern. Go have a peek!
