This is Turkish Iznik ( or Isnik ) pottery, but that is not the name given to this jug.
Fragments of such Iznik pottery were excavated at Lindos, on the Greek island of Rhodes, in the 19th century and it was mistakenly believed that this pottery was made there.

The first jug resides in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
