İznik has been well known for its local faience/tile (çini) tradition since 15th century.
Nowadays, designs range from classical/traditional to somewhat kitsch to avant-garde. You can see lots of tile workshops, which also double as showrooms for tiles painted on square porcelains on sale, in alleys on both sides of Kılıçaslan Caddesi St, especially near the Green Mosque/the Museum.
İznik Foundation also works for reviving the tile art, and offers tiles and household pottery such as bowls, dishware and vases, hand-painted in the traditional İznik style.
