Turkish Iznik Tiles
MOL Turkey supports the Traditional Art of Türkiye, Iznik Tiles!
What is the Türkiye's world-class traditional art, Iznik Tiles?
Iznik tiles, which decorate the Topkapi Palace and many mosques, reached their peak in the 16th century, when the Ottoman Empire was at its height of prosperity, and picture plates and tableware were used in the palaces. Today, they are still widely used for interior decoration and tableware.
One Japanese woman who was drawn to this fascination is Ryuko Kito, who came to Istanbul in 2003, studied decorative tiles at Mimar Sinan University in Istanbul, and continues to work as a tile painter in her atelier in Istanbul.
