İznik ceramics

İznik ceramics refer to the highly recognizable, intricately decorated pottery produced in the town of İznik, Turkey, from the 15th to 17th centuries. Renowned for their white-glazed, vibrant blue, green, and red patterns, these ceramics often feature floral, geometric, and calligraphic designs influenced by Islamic art. They were used for both functional items, like bowls and tiles, and decorative purposes, often adorning mosques and palaces. İznik ceramics represent a pinnacle of Ottoman craftsmanship, blending artistic innovation with technical mastery, and continue to be highly prized for their beauty and historical significance.
