Ottoman miniatures, which are serious visual documents along with the written documents, facilitated the easy access to the Ottoman daily life of the period such as wedding ceremonies or street fun. One of these examples is Iznik pottery covered in miniatures. When we analyze the types, forms, and places of these pottery, we can see how pottery shaped Ottoman food culture and thus Ottoman life. In this study, some miniature drawing of Iznik pottery and the written documents were compared. The results of comparison show that the variety of Iznik pottery forms is the most concrete evidence of the richness of Ottoman tableware and food culture.
