Shaped Tiles in the 'Cuerda Seca' Technique late 14th century A brilliant but shortlived episode in the history of Anatolian ceramic production was the appearance of tiles decorated in the socalled cuerda seca ("dry cord") technique.

This technique seems to have been introduced to Turkey from Iran as early as the fourteenth century.
