Notes
In the 1550s, Iznik potters experimented with decoration using coloured slips or liquid clay. Their great achievement was to find a type that turned red when fired under the glaze. This eye-catching red replaced the purple of earlier wares, just as a bright emerald colour replaced the sage green. Iznik ceramics were exported all over Europe and the Middle East. Copies were also made, first in Ottoman provincial centres and then, after 1600, in a wider area including Italy and Iran.
