In the 8th and 9th centuries A.D. artists from the Far East introduced the Turks to the tradition of glazed ceramics. Under the reign of the Ottoman sovereigns this art grew to a climax. What remains of their finest accomplishments suffices to immoralize an era. This volume, which has been written by a woman who loved and studied the art during her many years in Turkey, is a short guide to these mural tiles. Through this book you, too, can find and appreciate these art treasures.
