Text is in English. A wonderful presentation. Oz was a former curator at Topkapi Palace Museum. Includes in-depth essays about different periods of Turkish ceramic-making, primarily tiles, with information on the ceramic decorations at several well-known mosques, mausoleums and other monuments (many of them in Istanbul); and another essay about Turkish ceramics in general, beyond tiles. A beautiful book!
