Candle Holders Cod:  CH 001 Information

The candlestick combines elements of both: the design on the body was drawn using the same stencil as was used for the high foot of the basin, while its border friezes relate to the dish. Two other features which indicate that the basin is a late example of "Baba Nakkas" ware are the use of turquoise, particularly on the interior, and the high foot, which is a feature of basins from the 1540s, including on in the Tugrakes Spiral Style. The examples are on display in Illustrated in black and white, Fig. British Museum London.
