<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 360365, member: 2844&quot;]Kütahya is one of the main ceramics centres of Turkey. It has a very long ceramics history because of the suitable clay in the area.</p><p>The making of traditional ceramics died out ca 1900, but modern production started ca mid 20th century. There are now countless ceramics manufacturers. They manufacture just about every conceivable style.</p><p>I can&#039;t understand all of it, but &#039;çini&#039; means china, in Turkish a general term for glazed ceramics. Turkish people love using terms like grand and special, it lends prestige but usually doesn&#039;t mean anything.</p><p>Your plate is based on folk pottery with a bit of Iznik style influence. But it is not folk art as such, it is factory made and hand decorated, probably in the late 20th century. It is not signed, it just has the name of the type of ware and the factory.</p><p>This could be the manufacturer of your plate, the name is closest to &#039;çaglar&#039;:</p><p><a href="http://www.kutahyasanayi.net/2014/firmabilgileri.php?FirmaNo=31" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kutahyasanayi.net/2014/firmabilgileri.php?FirmaNo=31" rel="nofollow">http://www.kutahyasanayi.net/2014/firmabilgileri.php?FirmaNo=31</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
