Description
The Rustem Pasha Mosque is famous for its large quantities of exquisite Iznik tiles, set in a very wide variety of beautiful floral and geometric designs, which cover not only the fae of the porch but also the mihrab, minbar, walls, columns and on the facade of the porch outside. These tiles exhibit the early use of a tomato-red color that would become characteristic of Iznik pottery. Some of the tiles, particularly those in a large panel under the portico to the left main entrance, are decorated with sage green and dark manganese purple that are characteristic of the earlier Damascus ware coloring scheme. No other mosque in Istanbul makes such a lavish use of these tiles.
