TURKISH CERAMICS:
After İznik (northen Turkey), Kütahya (western Turkey) was Ottoman Turkey's most important centre of ceramic production. Thanks to abundant deposits of clay in the area, ceramics were made here in large quantities during the Phrygian, Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine eras, and the traditional techniques of this art have survived to the present day. 
With the decline of the Ottoman Empire, Iznik ceramics, which were primarily tried to support the palace, lost their luminous period and even production came to a complete halt. Iznik ceramics, which began to lose importance at the end of the 17th century, were replaced by kutahya ceramics which had primarily been intended for citizens since the early 18th century.
The city of Kutahya in Anatolia is the oldest recognized continuous production centre of pottery in the world with pottery production since the times of the Phrygians, Rompans, Byzantines, Seljuks and Ottomans. According to each civilization, although from time to time there are different products and the art of pottery continues to exist to this day. Ceramics in Kütahya began to fill the gap from the beginning of the 18th century.
