Featured Help needed for identifying origin of a 30 cm antique floral ceramic tile.

This belongs to an old friend, she has no idea of the age or country of origin, it is framed with closed wood back.
About 30 cm square, heavy, uneven surface with some pits and fire crack.
It seems to have brown color under the glaze, but not sure...
I'm sure it is old, and Iznik came to my mind, but I'm in no way a ceramic guru
Maybe some of you will have an idea from the colors and motifs (those cherry blossoms are rather asian, but the feathered leaf is puzzling!)

 

It's lovely. Reminds me of some of the more elaborate Victorian wallpapers.

Persian blue color identifies it as coming from the Middle East.

Not neccessarily. There's Victorian British tiles with exactly that colouring. It's a bit Morris.

 

Kyra, you're spot on with Iznik. And guess what I found, 16th century Iznik, in the Met, remind you of something?

Kyra, I rotated your image, and then flipped it horizontally: Not quite, but close to identical!!!! Enamel large tile???? Pretty!!!!! WOW, AJ!!!!! GREAT FIND!!!!!!!! And on reading AJ's link, I see it's one of a panel from the 16th century!! How AWESOME is THAT!!!!!

 

Here is some info on Iznik tiles:

This Wiki page mentions the use of colours in the history of Iznik ware:

Apparently that iron red colour was introduced in the middle of the 16th century.

 

Fascinating!!!! And LOVE the colors they were using!!!!

 

Ooohhh! Any Jewelry, I KNEW you would KNOW
Such a great info for my friend!!!

Incredible what kind of data can emerge from my brain

Aquitaine! Wow!!!

 

Thanks AJ! I explored these when Iznik popped out in my mind, but wasn't able to find the EXACT image of the MET tile

 

I found some more info in my book on ceramics from Islamic lands: This colour combination is called Rhodian ware (due to an early misattribution to Rhodes), the slender leaf design is called the 'Saz' leaf design. Saz means reed, it is also the name of a beautiful Turkish string instrument.

Eagle eye AJ strikes again.

 

Kyra, I think your friend's tile is nicer than the one in the Met. Just a little more artistry and elegance.
