Mug Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm not sure where to post this and I thought with the forum topic that I might find some art history buffs.I made a ceramic tile purchase because I love the artwork and was wondering if anyone knew what part of the world this may have came from. It would be a bonus if anyone recognizes the artist. Yea...I tried to upload the picture from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yappystudent Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I don't see a link to an image of the tile, -the image thingy is a bit tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mug Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I purchased this from a well to do art lovers estate and it may not be worth a nickle, I'm not looking for an appraisal. For those of you who think it's ugly, when you see it in person it grows on you. I feel whoever painted this was an experienced artist because the technique and the brushwork laid down was pretty bold. I was guessing Middle Eastern. Middle Eastern generically covers a lot of territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glazenerd Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I would say Persian actually; although certain aspects make me think of the Ottoman Empire. 1100-1918AD. Nerd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Campbell Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Sohoni is an Indian name ... so your search might start there. Lovely tiles ... what is the size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mug Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Chris I would have never thought that the name would be Indian. Possibly with the attire it may depict a Hindu wedding? 6 inch tiles I plan on mounting them in a Victorian frame for my art wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mug Posted May 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I found Pushkar Sohoni, he has a doctorate in Art History and a list of other related things including restoration. One of his interest is ceramic tile. Hmmmm I must say. I wonder if The good Dr. has time for a my curiosities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
