[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 351950, member: 2844"]Iznik is more refined than the blue and white vase. It was not in my "Pottery from Islamic Lands", which is pretty comprehensive. The floral painting on this Skiathos pitcher is related to other European folk pottery, like the Dutch 'boerenbont': [IMG]https://s14-eu5.startpage.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcSD6T_gA7z68c3449QTxdG0YBZgDcHU51R0UPmNcWOfHD2E0ym1&sp=f2e11f2d8228a9bed945751dc2cd4027&anticache=528940[/IMG] Natasha would recognize it as Ukrainian, the French as French, etc. The text is Πiγo λiγo καi πoλλες φoρες, which means something like: one more and many times (over and over). Πiγo λiγo also means come on. I am sure someone else can translate it better, but it is a toast, so probably a wine pitcher.[/QUOTE]
