Pottery

from the program:
"Turkish pottery has a very long history, going as far back as the 8th century A.D. It has an important place in traditional Turkish art, derives from middle Asia which came with the Seljuk’s to Anatolia. It became a very important part of both Anatolian Seljuk’s and the Ottoman Empire Culture. Its products show the beauty of the lifestyle of Palaces to mansions, from fountains to caravansaries. Artist: Mr. Abdullah Ercan Ozer"
