Abstract:

Isnik, a small settlement in western Anadolu, before the Ottoman XVIII. It is an important center in which China-Ceramic production continues without interruption during the process that lasts to a century. Rome, Byzantine, after the short Anadolu Selçuklu domination until 1331 to illuminate the cultural heritage in Iznik, after the first period of excavations covering the years 1963-1969 under the Presidency of Prof. Dr. Oktay Aslanapa from the Art History Department of the University of Istanbul, with the excavation that was launched in 1981 and was regularly carried out in the excavation area given the BHD code in 1984, the production of chini and ceramics in Iznik continues to illuminate. At present, a total of nine works have been carried out. These bricks in the nearby plankers also indicate the workshop area in the area that is grabbed. The results of the analyses were the XIV-XVII of these oven. It is clear that it has been active for centuries. The intensity of the findings dealt with in the mining work is also made up of the red and white ceramic pieces of the Ottoman era produced in these dates. On the other hand, among the findings discussed are also examples that historically indicate earlier periods or the Byzantine-Ottoman transition period. For example, the most important buluntu group of the last two seasons are semi-made secret/secret roofs, which were rarely found in the previous mining seasons. According to the accumulated intensity, it will not be wrong to say that they were produced not only for the Iznik and nearby structures, but for the Selçuklu and Beylikler period structures in Anadolu. In addition to the secret roofs, similar examples taken in Anatolia are XII-XV. A number of semi-made ceramics that prove that printed decorated ceramic containers are produced in İznik, dating to the range of centuries, are in the same intensity with secret ceramics. This article aims to introduce the print and printed decorated ceramic shapes dealt with in the 2015–2017 mining periods in the Iznik Chinese oven mining by comparing with similar examples.
