Above is a cup I bought in Bursa, Turkey, where they are famous for their blue ceramics. The second photo shows blue Turkish tiles in the Blue Mosque. I visited it several times, it is beautiful. In Turkey they were not allowed to depict people or animals in art, so many of the designs are floral. I wrote my B.A. Art History thesis titled "History of the Development of the Mosque" The old grand mosques are airy and uplifting as are the Cathedrals of Europe.
