The bole-red color that made Iznik ceramics renowned was introduced in around 1560. In contrast to the other colors, which are traditional glaze pigments, this red is a slip that is frequently found in slight relief under the sparkling transparent glaze, another characteristic of the best products from Iznik. Local Turkish flora, with flowering cherry branches and roses, grace these tiles in an elegant manner. The tiles would have framed the opening to a little niche hollowed out of a wall.
