The best place for Iznik tiles: there are three shops, two are very close to the Four Seasons Sultanahmet. There are four floors and a basement display area of the BEST classic and contemporary tiles/ceramics you will see in Istanbul. They are relatively costly, which reflects the very high quality and skill of the artists: having said that recent reviews... More

The ceramics in this shop are some of the most beautiful ceramics I have ever purchased. I cannot say enough positive things about Tahir and the artists he commissions. Tahir is wonderful and his artists are passionate about their craft. SUPER SHOP!!!!

Fortunately, in recent decades good reproductions have appeared. Iznik Classics has supported and sells the work of the very best makers of these reproductions in particular Adnan Hoca, Meliha Coskun and... More

The ceramics are the work of five well-known Turkish artists who only sell their work through this Iznik Classics shop. The first floor of the shop has examples of ceramics from all the artists....
