Iznik








A country I would like to visit in the near future specifically for its history of art is Turkey. Iznik Pottery, which is named after a town in western Anatolia where it was made, is highly decorated ceramics during the late sixteenth century. Iznik tiles may be seen in the imperial and religious buildings of Istanbul. There are many Turkish companies that sell iznik tiles in Turkey online, they have really beautiful tiles but it needs an artistic eye to put them all together. As you can see above the tiles come in many colors mostly blues, turquoise, reds and green. Not everyone enjoys the beauty of the tiles but for those who do let me know what you think?
