The Iznik Collection is inspired by the decorative pottery
and tiles that were produced in the town of Iznik in Anatolia, Turkey, between
the 15th and 17th century. Iznik pottery is known throughout the world for its
vivid cobalt and turquoise blue glazes and simple swirling patterns inspired by
natural forms. The pottery was originally inspired by the Chinese blue and
white Ming dynasty porcelain that was being brought along the Silk Road during
the 15th century and had such a profound influence on the Ottoman court at that
time. The collection itself has been
developed from a select group of glazed tiles and plates. As well as simple
floral and geometric motifs, it includes such elements as the tree of life.
This new collection from Snow Leopard continues to give a contemporary form to
these great artistic traditions from the past, while allowing them to be enjoyed
in our homes today.
