Iznik Collection

Known as Nicaea in Byzantine times, the small but historically significant city of Iznik in modern day Turkey became an important center for the production of ceramic tiles and tableware during the Ottoman Empire. Owing to the popularity of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain in the Ottoman court, the first examples of Iznik were in fact imitations of the Chinese wares, using a porcelain substitute called ‘çini’. By the late 16th century, Iznik artisans had evolved the art form – experimenting with new forms, motifs and colors – into something completely distinct and thoroughly Ottoman.
