13th-14th Century Glazed Octagonal Tiles: A Glimpse into the Rich History of Turkish Ceramics This image showcases a collection of intricately designed glazed octagonal tiles, dating back to the 13th-14th centuries. The tiles are on display at the Tiled Kiosk Museum, housed within Istanbul's Archaeological Museum in Turkey. During the 2nd half of the 13th century and the 14th century, the art of ceramics flourished in the Middle Eastern regions, particularly in areas under the influence of the Ilkhanid, Seljuk, and Ottoman empires. These tiles are a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic innovation of that era. The tiles exhibit a stunning array of geometric and star-shaped designs, decorated with a rich palette of polychromy. The glazes used in these tiles are characterized by their glassy, opaque, and luster-lustre finishes. The underglaze decoration, often featuring cobalt blue motifs, adds to the tiles' intricate and detailed appearance. The octagonal shape of these tiles is a common form found in Turkish pottery from this period. The concentric circles and geometric patterns are reminiscent of the Persian influence on Turkish art during the Ilkhanid and Seljuk eras. The tiles' intricate decoration and precise execution are a reflection of the high regard for art and craftsmanship during this time. These tiles were once used as decorative elements in various architectural structures, such as mosques, palaces, and mausoleums. They served as both functional and aesthetic elements, contributing to the overall beauty and grandeur of the interiors. Today, these tiles are preserved and showcased in museums like the Tiled Kiosk Museum, providing us with a glimpse into the rich history and artistic achievements of the medieval Middle Eastern world. The tiles' enduring allure continues to captivate and inspire visitors, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the cultural connections that span continents and centuries.
