During the Industrial Revolution, which started in England in the first half of the 19th century and spread all over Europe in a short time, public buildings such as municipal buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools, museums and libraries were built and the demand for coating materials increased. A cheap and elegant alternative to marble and stone floors, ceramics were produced for the residences of these structures and the nascent middle class. For the decoration of the tiles, the arts of countries with deep-rooted cultures were inspired. Ottoman tiles and ceramics, which are among the most distinguished collections of all world museums, are among them. In this article, Minton, Hollins & Co., which has an important role in the development of the ceramic industry, Iznik patterns on the tiles produced by the firm were investigated and evaluated.
