Interesting information .. (Part 1)
-------------------------------------------------- -----
David Hovhannisyan, Nshan Balian and his wife Takuya, Mkrtich Karakashyan Ifkeris with his wife and six other Armenian masters of ceramics from Kutahya appeared in Jerusalem in 1919. Since the late Middle Ages Turkish city of Kutahya was the center for the unique pottery, from the XVIII century Armenian masters were in the forefront of this industry. From the XIV century, mainly from the XVI and XVII centuries, one can identify large numbers of Armenian craftsmen who built ceramic tiles for wall decoration in churches and mosques and diverse pottery

What a pleasant surprise! Thank you, Eugene!
