The Ishakpasa Palace is one of the most distinguished and renowned masterpieces of Ottoman architecture, often regarded as the most significant palace complex after Topkapi Palace. More than a palace, it is a multifunctional architectural ensemble and stands as the last great monument of the Ottoman Empire's Tulip Era.
Commissioned in 1685 by II. Ishak Pasa and Colak Abdi Pasa, the palace reached its final form in 1784. Its construction spanned nearly 100 years, and it is considered highly valuable in art history. Blending influences from Ottoman, Seljuk, and Persian architectural traditions, one of its most remarkable features is that it is believed to be among the first palaces in the world to include an early form of a central heating system.
The relief motifs on the Ishakpasa Vase are created through stylized interpretations of patterns that reflect the cultural traces of a vast geography - from Iran to Anatolian Seljuk heritage, and from Georgia to the Caucasus. The striking lion motifs, originally seen on the right and left sides of the palace's monumental carved gate, are reimagined and applied onto the vase.
The Ishakpasa Palace was included in the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List in 2000.
Crafted from handmade cream opal glass, the Ishakpasa Vase features raised relief motifs meticulously hand-decorated using gold gilding and antique-effect paints, showcasing exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.
