Hand-Painted Indian Tile — Kashmiri Songbird & Florals, ~7×5

Description

A beautifully hand-painted tile from northern India, likely Kashmir, featuring a long-tailed songbird perched amidst stylized florals. Richly glazed in cobalt, turquoise, yellow, plum, and green with strong black linework, the design evokes traditional Persianate motifs interpreted through Indian folk art. Approx. 8 x 4.75 inches; mid-to-late 20th century; unmarked, with an unglazed terracotta body and visible signs of age and hand production. A striking standalone piece of vernacular ceramic art.
