Pottery and ceramics making are traditional art forms that have been practiced in Turkey for thousands of years. From the ancient Hittites to the Ottoman Empire, various cultures have influenced Turkish ceramics throughout history. Today, this rich tradition is being kept alive by a new generation of talented artisans passionate about their craft. At Aseel Buy Good Turkey, we're proud to work with these artisans and share their unique handmade products to a global audience.



Turkey is known for its distinctive ceramic art, particularly the blue and white designs that are a signature of the region. The famous Iznik ceramics, made in the town of Iznik, are a great example. Iznik ceramics are known for their intricate designs, often featuring floral motifs and geometric patterns. These ceramics were made for the Ottoman court and were used to decorate mosques and palaces.



At Aseel Buy Good Turkey, we work with a number of skilled artisans who specialize in making Iznik ceramics. Our artisans are dedicated to preserving the rich history of Turkish ceramics while adding their unique touch to each piece they create. Their designs range from traditional to modern, but they all share a common theme – they're handmade with love and care. Two such artists are Simay from Siu Studio and Büşra from Fusska Ceramics, both based in Istanbul. Let's take a closer look at their stories and the beautiful products they create.
