The colours and design of this small square tile were inspired by the 16th century ceramics from Iznik, the centre of pottery production in Ottoman Turkey. Worked in characteristic cobalt blue and turquoise, this panel features the carnations from the Turkish Tulip Tile, and is worked on an ivory satin background with cottons, gold metallic threads, beads and tiny spangles.

The tile may be framed or made into the lid of a box.
