Description: | Public:
Panel of twelve plastic-bodied earthenware tiles, two large square tiles depicting a pseudo-medieval sea battle and ten smaller tiles forming a 'Persian'-style border.
Private:
Twelve plastic-bodied coarse earthenware tiles forming a pictorial panel of two 8" square tiles with a border of four 2" square tiles and six rectangular tiles. The design is transferr printed underglaze in 'Persian' colours: blue, turquoise, purple, green and black on a white background. The border design shows Syrian or Turkish (Isnik) influence, and consists of scrolling flowers and foliage, with single flowers in the corners. The central scene depicts two pseudo-medieval galleons in battle, the ship on the right firing its cannons broadside at the ship on the left. Both ships fly pennants from their mastheads and sails with heraldic motifs (eagles and lions). Sailors stand on deck, some aiming muskets. Birds fly in the sky on the right, where the sun is setting with long flame-like rays.
