The Benaki Museum of Islamic Art in Athens has a substantial
collection of Iznik ceramics (tableware, tiles and sherds).
Although well-known to those who visit the museum, this collection
has never been fully published. John Carswell first studied the
objects in the 1980s and started cataloguing them with a view to
publication. The project was revived and guided to fruition by the
curator of the museum, Mina Moraitou. She has contributed a chapter
on Antonis Benakis and the formation of the Iznik collection as
well as working on the catalogue which includes 111 objects, 83
tiles and 143 sherds. All the objects are illustrated in colour,
some with line drawings.
