The Magic of Iznik Ceramics
Recaptured from Museum Collections
9th - 23rd June 2012
The ceramics of Iznik are amongst the finest ever produced and have long been sought after by discerning Western Collectors. Nowadays they command very high prices. The classical period lasted for a short century - from the late 15th century until towards the end of the 16th century. The technical quality of the work is superb; the sense of design often free and imaginative; and the use of colour immediate and dramatic. There are excellent examples in main museums throughout the world.
A number of modern craftsmen and women in Turkey have dedicated themselves to a revival of the ancient traditions of Ottornan ceramics and have succeeded in rediscovering many of the secrets of materials, glazing and colouring which have been lost for three hundred years.
Iznik Revivals are fortunate to have some of these talented people as our suppliers. This enables us to offer near perfect examples of the original designs, hand painted in individual ateliers following the ancient tradition.
