2. Pottery & Ceramics
 These arts thrived under the Ottomans, whose
skilled craftsmen perfected the coral red and cobalt
blue of the Iznik tile.
 No one has ever been able to reproduce the
intensity of these colors, until now.
 The main genuine proliferations leave the Iznik
Foundation's workshop and showroom in Iznik,
which has an extension in Istanbul.

4. Turkish Textiles
 I bet you didn't realize it, but
Turkey exports a huge amount
of textiles, supplying the raw
materials for well-known
retailers such as OP, Calvin
Klein, etc.
 Many Istanbul residents head
to one of these towns to stock
up on plush towels and terry-cloth
robes.

5. Copper Work
 Turks use copper for
everything, probably because
it looks so good (particularly
the white copper).
 Tea servers with triangular
handles pass you by countless
times a day; the wide copper
platters that double as tables
represent typical Turkish style.

6. Gold & Silver
 The price by weight is the
same, but with labor so cheap,
you're bound to get a deal.
 Shopping thoroughfares glitter
with the stuff - some of it
attractive, some of it hideous.

7. Foodstuffs
 The exoticism of the East is in
full bloom at
Istanbul's Egyptian Spice
Bazaar, where you can find a
dizzying assortment of spices,
dried fruits and nutty
concoctions.
 The smoothest and most
delicious of the household
brands is bottled by Komili.

8. Ottoman Books & Rare Prints
 The Ottomans were masters of
calligraphy, embellishing the
page with dust from sapphires,
lapis lazuli, gold, and other
gems.
 Miniatures generally represent
scenes from the life of a sultan
and his family, with colorful
shades to give the page life.

9. Meerschaum Pipes
 Carved from the magnesium
silicate found primarily in
Eskisehir, these ivory-colored
pipes are hollowed out and
polished to mimic playful or
grotesque images.
 The pipes are sold in most
souvenir shops and make fun,
frolicsome showpieces
