<p>[QUOTE=&quot;henley hanley, post: 9929402, member: 88491&quot;]I have many such Kutahya pieces of Iznik design, mostly modern, all handpainted, none particularly costly, but all beautiful.&nbsp; There are currently dozens of factories around Kutahya cranking these pieces out, plates, vases, bowls, and &quot;fancy&quot; serving plates w/individual dishes for sauces. Rarely signed by the artist, and if so, the name is meaningless, to me at least.&nbsp; When looking, I seek out true Iznik-clay pieces which have a lot of quartz in the clay and are noticeably heavier.&nbsp; While some antique Iznik pieces are seen, in the 1990s, a Turkish university &quot;discovered&quot; , rather was able to formulate, the long-lost formula for Iznik quartz clay and now there are pieces made of such but are typically expensive. Presuming good condition, this is a nice plate at your presumed cost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
