Product Care & Handling

Your Iznik pottery and Turkish ceramics are unique creations. To ensure your cherished art remains in excellent condition for years to come, please follow these simple care guidelines.

How should I care for my Turkish tiles?

  • Dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

  • If needed, wipe lightly with a damp cloth and clean water only.

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals, as they can damage the surface or frame

How do I clean Iznik plates and wares?

  • Authentic hand-painted Turkish ceramics and Iznik wares are not dishwasher safe, despite what some tourist shops might claim. Your piece should always be hand-wash only.

  • Use a soft cloth and water.

  • Avoid harsh scrubbing pads or strong detergents to protect the glaze and design.

What are the general handling guidelines for Turkish ceramics?

  • Always handle your pieces with care. Avoid placing heavy objects on them to prevent breakage.
  • If using a display holder, ensure it's the correct size for the diameter of your tile or plate for a secure fit.
  • When moving your pieces, pack them properly in a sturdy box to protect them during transport.

Will the colors on my products fade?

No. All colors are protected by a transparent glaze, so they will not discolor even in direct sunlight.
