This stunning Iznik lidded jar is a true gem from the famed Kutahya region of Turkey, dating back to around 1900. A masterpiece of hand-painted artistry, it boasts an enchanting Persian-inspired floral motif, with vivid cobalt blue, white, and yellow blossoms gracefully intertwined with deep green stems and bold black outlines—all set against a creamy white backdrop.
Despite a small, discreet chip on the bottom of the lid (visible only when turned upside down—see last two photos), this exquisite jar remains in remarkable vintage condition. Free from cracks, crazing, or repairs, it showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of its time. Natural glaze variations and subtle imperfections from the firing process enhance its authenticity and character, making it a truly one-of-a-kind treasure. Amazingly, even after more than a century, there is no visible crazing and only the slightest shelf wear on the bottom.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a breathtaking piece of history! Whether as a collector’s item or a statement décor piece, this jar is sure to captivate and impress.
Dimensions: Approximately 6”L x 5.5”W x 4”H (with lid).
