IZNIK CERAMICS - WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT?

  • Iznik ceramics have not been made for the last 300 years and there were no documents whatsoever providing clues to the technologies used in the process.



  • The colors used in the ceramics, especially the coral red include complex mixtures and are difficult to obtain and apply.


  • It is considered that it has been extremely difficult production methods used and that result in very hard glaze and brilliant under-glaze decorations.
