WHAT IS CINI (TILE) ART?

Tile is a one face glazed coating substance which is decorated with coloured patterns and decals. Under- glaze technique is used while making these tiles.


The decorated tile (also known as cini) is a coating material that its one surface is glazed and embroidered with coloured motives.

Cini (earthenware glazed tiles) are usually used in architecture, and products such as pots and bowls. Cini, which is a branch of ceramic art that developed in Central Asia, was brought to Anatolia by the Seljuke.

It occupied a very important place in Ottoman architectural decoration and embellished mosques, medreses (theological schools), tombs and palaces. Geometric writings with figures, plant designs, and yellow and green colors were used.

Kutahya is the unique center that the manufacture of art tile and Kutahya-styled tiles are generally blue, red, yellow, purple and green. Also, the types of the tiles are; Elhamra, Millennium, Embossed, Sable and Turquoise. All of the products are the unique samples of the tiles representing first class quality.


THE HISTORY OF THE CINI (TILE) ART

It is believed that tile art has been started in the Middle East and from there moved to Anatolia and to Europe. Assur, Iran, Middle East Turks and Egyptians have used tiles-which is a branch of Fine Arts now - to decorate buildings and inscriptions.

At the ages of Seljuks and Ottoman Empire, in some places in Anatolia tile production have been made. So many tile samples from the ages of Seljuk Empire glazed in firuze (turquoise), green, cobalt blue, Brown and transparent colors can be seen.
