WHAT IS HANDMADE TURKISH CERAMIC






The art of ceramic has become a cultural treasure by developing in Anatolia throughout history. Throughout the time from the first ages, with its enhancing motifs and raw material being clay; a mixture of metal, nonmetal and oxide, it has turned into a work of art that reflects societies' sensitivity, cultural accumulation, religious beliefs, relationships and lives within society.



The art of ceramic which developed in Anatolia reached its highest level of technique and aesthetic especially during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Other branches of ceramics could be grouped as the art of tile making, brick and roof tile production.  




Today, Kutahya has been revived as an important center of ceramic making. In addition, efforts are also being made in private workshops and educational institutions Istanbul to keep the art of traditional Turkish tiles and ceramics alive and develop it so that it can address the demands of modern day life.



Kutahya was Ottoman's most important centre of ceramic production. Thanks to abundant deposits of clay in the area, ceramics were made here in large quantities in Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine times, and the traditional techniques of this art have survived to the present day.
