Abstract

The tile art has a long-standing background. Main material of this art whose first examples began to be seen as from 9th century is terra; it finds its final shape by baking, glamourizing and glazing. The glazed tiles decorating walls in religious and civil architecture had been used for centuries as evani (cookware and bakeware) forms as well as being an aesthetic value. During the Anatolian Seljuk period, polygonal shaped tile boards and figures made with eggplant purple, navy blue, white, turquoise blue, glazed brick, monochrome glazed, mosaic, minai, luster, underglaze techniques were applied to architectural works by using geometric and rumi motifs. As from the last quarter of 11th century to the end of 13th century, this art which was seen the most improved examples produced by the Anatolian Seljuks had reached to its peak point with applications of underglaze tiles where vegetable, semi-stylized motifs, blue, red, green, turquoise and navy blue colors were used in 16th century when it was known that the Ottoman State was the most efficient in terms of the ornamentation arts. The tiles which were necessary for decoration of the religious and civil architectural buildings constructed in this period had been produced in Iznik. Iznik was no longer the only production center for economic reasons in the 17th century; Kütahya had started to produce tiles as the second most important production center. At this study, questions arising from the glazed tiles programs not coinciding with construction dates of the religious buildings constructed in 17th century and reviewed in scope of intentional example, the glazed tile centers of the products, quality differences in workmanship and production of the tiles, completing of empty parts of the walls with other glazed tiles after restoration of the said buildings or stealing of glazed tiles will be evaluated under the subject.
