Pattern Details:
Tulip Motif: One of the most refined symbols of Ottoman tile art, representing love, beauty, and perfection. Its name shares the same Arabic letters as Allah, symbolizing divine affection. In Ottoman palace culture, the tulip was also a sign of prosperity and splendor.
Carnation Motif: A symbol of abundance and fertility, frequently used in Ottoman ceramics, textiles, and miniatures. With its delicate leaves and vibrant colors, it reflects both worldly beauty and cultural depth.
Hatayi Motif: Of Chinese origin, adapted into Islamic art as a stylized floral pattern. It symbolizes the eternal cycle of life, the continuity of nature, and universal harmony. Commonly featured in Iznik tiles, the hatayi adds a mystical touch to the design.
Together, these three motifs create perfect aesthetic balance and symbolic richness—celebrating the continuity of life, the endurance of love, and the beauty of harmony.
