The rural town of Iznik (ancient Iznik), an important cultural center during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent, is located on the shore of a lake in northwest Turkey. Here at the beginning of the 16th century, an "Imperial item", now called Iznik, was made for the Istanbul palace of the Ottoman Sultan, the richest and most powerful ruler of Europe. Originally inspired by Chinese pottery, Imperial ware was so exquisite that in the mid-19th century European collectors thought it came from Persia. It was only in the 1920s that scholars recognized that Iznik ceramics were Ottoman and eventually gave Turkish potters the due credit for some of the most beautiful and striking designs in the world. Iznik wares have survived to the present day in all their glory. Iznik tiles adorn palaces and mosques; The largest collection of pottery is in the British Museum. 18. CC.
Turkish Ceramics Production
Tiles and ceramics are produced from the same material. In Western languages, those used for architectural decoration are called tiles, and those produced as pottery are called ceramics.
At the beginning of production, the clay is cleaned of impurities and mixed with water until it reaches a muddy consistency. It is then left to settle in three consecutive pools. Finally, the clay sinks to the bottom and the top liquid is drained. The clay is wheel shaped for pottery or poured into tile molds and left to dry. Before the order pieces are given to the oven, the surfaces are polished with sandpaper. While the Seljuks fired their ceramics at 700-800ºC, the Ottomans fired them at 900-1000ºC.
The thermosetting products are removed from the slowly cooled oven to be dyed. If it is to be decorated, the patterns are first pierced with thin needles on the transparent paper placed on the tiles or ceramics. Next, charcoal powder is laid on the punched paper to outline the pattern to be painted on the surface. After painting, the tiles and/or ceramics are covered with a colored or colorless glaze that becomes transparent with subsequent firing. Although this underglaze technique was mastered in Anatolia, which reached perfection during the Ottoman period, it showed differences over time.
Another technique used in the glazing and coloring of Turkish tiles and ceramics is overglaze, in which the fired clay is first covered with an opaque glaze and put into the kiln before being painted. It is then fired again after being painted. This is known as glossing. Depending on the type of paint used, the object sometimes acquires a metallic shine after polishing. This glazing technique was mostly used during the Seljuk period. Apart from these, monochrome, opaque, glazed and plain tiles were widely used in Anatolia.
It is also possible to obtain a multi-colored surface by using both underglaze and overglaze techniques, a technique called minai, developed by the Iranian Seljuks for daily ceramics at that time. Minai means mine in Persian. Seven colors are used in the Minai technique.
some colors are painted under glaze, some are painted over glaze.
