Iznik pottery, also known as Isnik pottery, originated in the Turkish town of Iznik during the late 15th century. Iznik was an important centre of ceramic production during the Ottoman Empire, and the pottery produced there is known for its distinctive style and high level of craftsmanship.
Iznik pottery typically features bright, bold colors and intricate floral and geometric designs. The designs often incorporate Islamic calligraphy and other decorative motifs, and the pieces are glazed with a clear, turquoise-tinted glaze that is characteristic of the style.
The production of Iznik pottery reached its peak during the 16th and early 17th centuries, when the Ottoman Empire was at its height of power and cultural influence.
