Why are Iznik tiles blue?
1 Answer
Iznik tiles are blue because the Turkish artisans who created them drew inspiration from the blue and white porcelain produced by the Chinese. However, not all Iznik tiles are blue. Some are also red, green or turquoise. You'll find a range of Iznik tiles on 1stDibs.
