Choosing tiles in İznik is not only taking the pattern you like alone from the shelf. The same visible two products can be passed through different body, printing, hand workmanship and baking processes. The best start is to ask the seller or master to explain where and how it is produced.
This guide doesn’t sort a certain ducrat and is not a single ‘real tile’ definition. The aim is to help you understand the difference between hand labor and mass production, choose appropriate for the purpose of use of the product and approach the living craft more conscious.
Ask manufacturer and process
Ask who designed the part, whether the contour and painting is done manually, the body material and where it is baked. A manufacturer that responds openly can explain small differences as a natural result of the process instead of storing like flaws.
Being Handmade does not mean that each piece is a one-to-one copy of a historical technique. Contemporary ceramic is different categories of traditional glaze six production and decorative printing; the correct introduction of the important product.
Review Surface Soon
Look at the rhythm of the contour lines, the distribution of colors within the limits and the brightness on the secret surface. Small brush and color changes can be seen in hand workmanship; defects that affect crack, sharp edge or use safety should also be assessed.
See how to cover the surface of the secret if the piece is correct to light. The container that will contact food with the decorated plates does not have the same requirements; accept only decorative if the product is clearly indicated in compliance with the food use.
Listen to Pattern’s Jujube
Lale, carnation, rumi, error and geometric weaves are used in different compositions. Don’t change every motif and approach appealing to a romantic meaning; the term changes the language of the use place and the interpretation of the master.
Asking how a master’s classic repertuvar commented, it’s more meaningful than choosing the product according to solo color match. Compare how the same motif is installed on the plate, tile and vase.
Plan Transportation and Maintenance
Clear the date of workshop work to be bundled, if there is a cargo, the conditions of responsibility and then the date of the work to be delivered. Measurement, assembly and spare parts in large boards should also be discussed.
Take the proposal of the manufacturer for cleaning; abrasive materials can damage the secret surface. Do not rush the decision of buying: touring several workshops is the best way to see technical and base differences.
