Gulbenkian Museum Cintamani Patterned Iznik Ceramic Plate Replica No:3
Handmade 33 cm replica of a çintemani-patterned Iznik plate in the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum in Lisbon. Red tiger stripes divide the inside of the plate into lozenge-shaped compartments. Each compartment holds green wavy lines and three blue spots arranged in a triangle; a border of navy rings runs around the rim.
Çintemani is a motif that combines triple spots recalling a leopard's pelt with wavy lines recalling a tiger's stripes. In old Turkic and Persian tradition, wearing tiger and leopard skins was regarded as a sign of sovereignty, power and valour. The history of the motif is told in the article “The Çintemani Pattern: A Mysterious Symbol in Ottoman Art”. The design is drawn by hand from the original piece. The plate is made in İznik Mavi Çini's workshop in Iznik.

Installation Methods
Iznik tiles can be installed in various ways depending on their intended use and surface type:
- For decorative display, tiles may be placed inside a wooden frame or mounted onto transparent plexiglass panels and hung on the wall.
- When installing tiles on wall or floor surfaces (such as bathrooms, kitchens, or similar areas), the use of MasterTile FLX 24 or an equivalent flexible ceramic adhesive is recommended.
- During installation, it is important that no gaps (grout lines) are left between tiles, ensuring a seamless and unified appearance.
- After the adhesive application, any excess bonding material between tiles should be cleaned, and the surface should be wiped once fully dried.
- If tiles are to be applied onto steel or metal constructions, an appropriate metal-compatible adhesive must be used.
This Iznik ceramic plate is entirely handmade and produced with a high quartz content in accordance with Ottoman-period techniques.The final layer is finished with a glossy glaze.
As it is hand-painted, slight variations in color tones may occur.
