Fine, Pair of 19th Century, Ottoman Revival, Canakkale, Green & Ochre, Gilded & Moulded, Terracotta Vases De Demoiselle,

Canakkale was the most important centre of ceramic production during the Ottoman Empire. Edmunt Chishull observed in 1701 "…The town is ..Yet famous for a curious sort of earthen ware finely glazed, which is made here, and vended in great quantities…" (Travels in Turkey and Back to England, London 1747).
