Abstract

Contemporary hand-made Iznik-style ceramics continue to be popular in Turkey. Made in some 50 workshops in Kiitahya and one workshop in Iznik, these wares generally show the same stratigraphy as the traditional Iznik wares produced during the Ottomon Empire from the 15th-17th centuries. While the materials utilized in the modern wares show some similarities to the traditional wares, the modern ceramicists have adopted many modern materials. For this paper, crossections of ceramics from four modern workshops were analyzed in an electron beam microprobe and the results compared with published information on traditional Iznik ceramics.
