Malzemeler ve teknikler	Fritware Slip Glaze Painted Glazed
Fiziksel açıklama	Hexagonal tile of fritware (also called stone paste), painted under the glaze in two shades of blue on a white ground. The design is in the so-called saz style, with a pattern of fantastic composite blossoms, rosettes and buds of the hatÃ¢yÃ® type set on a curving vine with reed-like stems and leaves. The vine grows from a group of leaves at the base of the tile. One stem grows to the left and ends in a large leaf, while another rises to the large hatÃ¢yÃ® blossom in the centre of the pattern and then rotates around this central blossom to fill the whole surface of the tile, again ending in a large leaf. The edges of the design were lost when the damaged tile was trimmed to make it more regular, and more saleable. This occurred when it was removed from the Ãinili Hamam in 1874, as is shown by debris excavated at the site.
