A rectangular Ottoman Iznik border wall tile with interwoven stylised floral scrolls with carnation and rose blooms in underglaze painted in turquoise, cobalt blue, bole red and black on white slip ground.

Iznik tiles are intricately decorated fritware ceramics that originated in the town of İznik (historic Nicaea), in present-day Türkiye, during the Ottoman Empire. Their production flourished in the 16th century, driven by demand from the imperial court, with large painted tile compositions adorning both the private residences of the wealthy and state-sponsored buildings such as mosques and palaces. However, in the 17th century, declining patronage resulted in a drop in both quality and quantity of production, with the ceramicist's palette reduced to just shades of blue and green by the 1660s.

Tiles of this type can be found in situ at the Hall of the Abolution Fountain, in the Topkapi Palace's Imperial Harem in Istanbul.
