One thing is for certain, the tile painter knew the red was special, and he would have been bound to secrecy to protect it. It is the only tile in the museum’s collection with the red, so it may be the only one not made in Damascus, as Damascus tiles are not associated with this red bole pigment. So our tile, with its bole red spot, can be dated to be between 1550 to 1580. And the famous Venetian potters never mastered the Iznik Bole Red either, they had to make do with orange. Exactly when the red died out is in dispute, but it is generally acknowledged to be between the early to mid 17 thcentury, exactly the time when court patronage for ceramic tiles and wares diminished and the Iznik potteries fell on harder times. The potters or glaze makers did not write it down, maybe they were under oath to guard their secret ingredient, like the Venetian glassmakers of Renaissance Murano and the porcelain factory workers in 18 th century Meissen. So being new and fashionable (and difficult) of course everyone wanted red bole on their tile for a while, and this red pigment is associated with the mature classic era of Iznik pottery produced for Istanbul buildings from the 1550s to the 1580s.īut weirdly by the first half of the 1600s no-one knew how to make this colour any more. It is known that some of the tile-making workshops in Iznik were owned by Armenians, so there is a plausible connection. According to the British Museum, the red pigment came from an iron-rich red earth, or bole, found in Armenia and its application was seen as a technical innovation at the time. And it was seen as rather clever and rather difficult – and its secret formula has been guessed, but never been confirmed. Bole Red.īole red varies in colour between a tomato red and a more orangey version, and it is usually applied in raised texture. Then around the 1520s to 1540s turquoise was introduced, followed by sage green and then a pale aubergine purple. Ottoman fritware started out as mostly white and cobalt blue yes, Ming- style again.

Ottoman fritware started out as mostly white and cobalt blue, and was heavily influenced by Chinese blue and white Ming porcelain. It was probably made either in Iznik, Turkey, or an Iznik trained potter may have moved to Damascus or Aleppo and worked and shared his skills to local potters there. This is an Ottoman Fritware tile connected to the Iznik School. © Louise Hill-Hottingerįirst some background. Sometimes there are pigments which get ‘forgotten’, and the red spot in this tile from the collection of the Museum of the Order of St John is now apparently ‘forgotten’. ![]() If your prized Titian painting has Prussian Blue in it, well bin it, because Prussian Blue wasn’t invented until 1708. Sometimes Art History throws out a marker so distinct you can make precise date assumptions by it.
