Iznik ceramics

From the 14^th to the 17^th centuries, potters in the town of Iznik, in northwest Turkey, turned out some of the most magnificent ceramics anywhere in the world. Their fame spread as far as the courts of Europe, which eagerly sought these lovely pieces made from clay of the finest white and covered in floral patterns in shades of blue, green, turquoise and red.

Sixteenth-century Iznik potters were famous for their work,
which they decorated with carnations, tulips, hyacinths and roses.
