The primary influences in Ottoman textile art originate from the weaving traditions of the Anatolian Seljuks and the principalities that followed. The successful application of drawn patterns was only possible through the exceptional skill of master weavers. From the 15th to the 20th century, Seljuk-inspired motifs remained central in Ottoman weaving, forming countless compositions enriched with stylized floral elements of Far Eastern origin such as the lotus, palmette, and hatayi.
Knowledge of Ottoman fabrics and weaving patterns has been preserved through various historical sources, miniature paintings, and the careful conservation of Ottoman sultans' garments. A major collection of Ottoman textiles and velvets is exhibited at the Topkapi Palace Museum. Additional Ottoman textile collections are also held by the Mevlana Museum in Konya, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, and the Louvre Museum in Paris.
The motifs on the Tulip Weave Vase are inspired by an Ottoman textile dated to the late 16th or early 17th century, composed of hatayi and tulip motifs, held in the Harvard Art Museums, Arthur M. Sackler Collection.
Crafted from handmade glass, the vase features raised relief motifs meticulously hand-decorated using gold gilding, enamel, antique-effect paints, and textile elements, showcasing exceptional artisanal craftsmanship.
