<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" lang="EN-US">In the 16th and 17th century Iznik and Kütahya dominated Ottoman tile culture, not in the least because of large scale court patronage. Although in the 18th century Ottoman interest in tiles as a form of architectural decoration remained, the demise of Iznik led to a completely new situation. In the first half of the 18th century the court tried to revive Ottoman tile production in Tekfursarayı (Istanbul) and for some time during the same period Kütahya played a role as producer of mainly blue-and-white tiles. However, already in the 1740s the Ottoman court started to import tiles from Europe. An important part of these tiles were blue-and-white and purple-and-white tiles from various production centers in The Netherlands such as Amsterdam and Rotterdam, but usually called Delft tiles. This presentation aims at throwing some light on 18th-century Ottoman tile culture in general and the place of Dutch tiles in this culture.</span></font></p>

<p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" class="MsoNormal" align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 10pt" lang="EN-US">16 ve 17. yüzyıllarda Osmanlı çini kültürü büyük çaplı saray patronajına bağlı olmayan bir şekilde İznik ve Kütahya’nın egemenliği altında kalmıştır. 18. yüzyılda Osmanlı’nın çinilere bir mimari süseme şekli olarak ilgisi devam etse de, İznik’in düşüşe tamamen yeni bir durumun ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. 18. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Osmanlı çini üretimi İstanbul’daki Tekfur Sarayı’nda canlandırılmaya çalışılmış ve aynı dönemde Kütahya bir süre özellikle mavi-beyaz çinilerin üreticisi olmuştur. Bununla birlikte, Osmanlı sarayı daha 1740’larda Avrupa’dan çini ithal etmeye başlamıştır. Bu çinilerin önemli bir bölümü Amsterdam ve Rotterdam gibi Hollanda’daki çeşitli üretim merkezlerinden gelen fakat çoğunlukla Delft çinileri olarak bilinen mavi-beyaz ve mor-beyaz çinilerdir. Bu sunum 18. yüzyıl Osmanlı çini kültürüne ve Hollanda çinilerinin bu kültür içindeki yerine ışık tutmayı amaçlamaktadır.</span></font></p>
