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.

Loved the funny!
That Turkish ceramic is beautiful. It's interesting that they couldn't use people or animals in their art. I wonder why?
Interesting fact on what they could depict
Those tiles are lovely.
Beautiful

This is an interesting theme for your BA-work!
Many greetings and blessings to you from Dori from the snowy Bavarian Forest
I didn't know about the restrictions in Turkish art. Very interesting.
The blue tile is gorgeous! Interesting info about people and animals not allowed to be depicted in art.
