Descriptive Notes
Wolfe
and
Miura:
Turkish
pattern.
Historically
, this
is
the
oldest
of
Western
marbled
patterns
and
dates
back
to as
early
as the
middle
part
of the
15th
century.
This
pattern
is
created
when
one
or
more
colors
are
thrown
onto the
surface
of the
bath
using
a
marbling
brush.
The
first
colors
thrown
tend
to
constrict
as
other
follow
and
become
the
'vein'
colors
for the
latter
thrown
inks.
This
sample
is
a
second.
The
primary
colors
for this
example
are
pink
and
black.
Collection Notes
