Design Detail: Piri Reis Map
The Piri Reis map design featured on this Iznik plate symbolizes the maritime power and geographic knowledge of the Ottoman Empire. Piri Reis was a renowned Ottoman admiral, explorer, and cartographer. His most famous map, drawn in 1513, is one of the oldest and most comprehensive world maps known today. It depicts parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
On Iznik plates, the Piri Reis motif is a stylized homage to this map, celebrating the spirit of discovery, courage, and wisdom. It reflects the Ottoman Empire’s strength in exploration and dominion over the seas.
This design is among the most iconic and historically meaningful patterns in Iznik ceramic tradition.
