4.0 out of 5 stars
Good designs, but would like color plates....,
This review is from: Treasury of Turkish Designs: 670 Motifs from Iznik Pottery (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
A very good sourcebook for Turkish (Iznik) Pottery motifs from the 1475-1660's. The designs are large and very clear, but they are only in B&W. This book is really good for people who want to learn about Turkish floral designs. There aren't very many geometric designs, or explanations about how's and why's (i.e. the book shows you the designs, but they don't explain why it's used or it's significance...though at the beginning of the book there is a short explanation...)This book is GREAT for ARTISTS! Though it doesn't tell you how to start your own design motif, there are so many examples, that it isn't hard to figure out! I thought this book was really helpful to me! (I am trying to design a pseudo-Turkish design for my own serving platter.)

Usefull source for Turkish traditional design students,
This review is from: Treasury of Turkish Designs: 670 Motifs from Iznik Pottery (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This book is a real treasury for one interested in Turkish design art/illumination. (TEZHIP in Turkish) I`m interested in calligraphy and illumination as a hobby and this book is a very good source with its traditional Iznik pottery motifs. The only missing point for me is lack of colourfull pictures of Iznik plates. Everybody interested in design and pottery should see this book.

Treasury of Turkish Designs,
By April (Champaign, Il) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Treasury of Turkish Designs: 670 Motifs from Iznik Pottery (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This book is, as other people have stated, black line drawings of turkish designs. There is not any historical information in this book but the simple pictures are very useful for learning the specific motifs of the Iznik era. I am a ceramic BFA student and found this book very useful as a source of inspirations that I could draw from in designing my own floral motifs.
