In outlining the book, we decided to start by giving an account of the world famous İznik tiles and ceramics through a brief history of the beautiful city that gave birth to the tiles and tile-making arts and industry. In the chapters that followed the historical account, we tried to provide brief informative accounts of tile production and tile designs to go on, afterwards, introducing İznik tiles with their most beautiful examples which decorated many of the major buildings dating to the 15th and 16th centuries. Our tour of tiles includes both the tiles that were used in the walls of the buildings and İznik ceramics that are currently exhibited in the museums and collections in the world. In the book, we tried to introduce the tile decorations that were frequently used in the architectural works of the period by classifying them in accordance with the buildings in which they were used. The chapters following the above mentioned accounts are reserved for the introduction of the list of skillfully produced ceramics in chronological order.

Art jewelry makes a unique gift for her. These striking enamel hoops celebrate the decoration on a painted dish (ca. 1575-90) crafted in Turkey's renowned Iznik kilns and now in The Met collection. The pattern is a variant of a motif known as çintamani, which is Sanskrit for "auspicious jewel." The circles and wavy stripes typically represented auspicious flaming pearls, but in the Ottoman context, they were associated with tiger stripes and leopard spots, symbols of strength and courage. The design originated in Buddhist iconography, and appears on ceramics, carpets, and textiles.

Some of the greatest glories of Ottoman art are the luxurious ceramic vessels and splendid tiles made to decorate newly founded mosques and palaces by the Turkish pottery at Iznik (ancient Nicaea). Their designs combine purely Turkish motifs with elements ingeniously transposed from imported Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. Over time a more subtle painterly style and complex palette were developed, culminating in the brilliant combination of cobalt blue, turquoise, olive green, magenta, and red that became the internationally recognized Iznik hallmark. Iznik ceramics were highly prized far beyond the Ottoman Empire, and although the factories had passed their peak by the late seventeenth century, their influence lived on through nineteenth-century European imitations by such potters as William de Morgan and Cantagalli.
