Description from the seller
Magic of Clay and Fire, Garo Kürkman
A History of Kütahya Pottery and Potters
Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation / Pera Museum, Istanbul, 2006
Hardcover with dust jacket. 405 pages, large format (approx. 25 × 33 cm). Profusely illustrated in colour. Text in English.
The standard modern reference on Kütahya ceramics — the long-overlooked counterpart to İznik ware. Pottery has been produced in the region without interruption from the Phrygian, Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods through the Ottoman era to the present. This study examines the development of the craft, raw materials, workshops and individual potters, drawing on unpublished documents and photographs assembled from museums and archives worldwide.
Particular attention is given to:
• the historical background of Kütahya as a ceramic centre
• signed and documented potters, from the 15th-century Tabrizi tile-maker Muhammed Mecnun (Yeşil Cami, Bursa) to Mehmed Emin Efendi and the early 20th-century revival
• techniques, glazes and workshop practice
• the relationship of Kütahya production to İznik and Çanakkale
An essential volume for collectors of Ottoman tiles and pottery, Islamic ceramics and Turkish decorative arts.
