Iznik Ceramics at the Benaki Museum Paperback / softback
by John Carswell, Mina Moraitou
Part of the Gingko Library Art Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Benaki Museum of Islamic Art in Athens has a substantial collection of Iznik ceramics (tableware, tiles and sherds).
Although well-known to those who visit the museum, this collection has never been fully published.
John Carswell first studied the objects in the 1980s and started cataloguing them with a view to publication.
The project was revived and guided to fruition by the curator of the museum, Mina Moraitou.
She has contributed a chapter on Antonis Benakis and the formation of the Iznik collection as well as working on the catalogue which includes 111 objects, 83 tiles and 143 sherds.
All the objects are illustrated in colour, some with line drawings.
