Turkish ceramics run on two clays, Iznik's white body under cobalt against Cappadocia's red earth on the wheel. Iznik Foundation revives the 500-year-old tradition of Iznik ceramics in blue and white today. Chelebi Ceramic & Tile throws fourth-generation Cappadocia pottery using local red clay and Hittite-inspired designs at the wheel. Chez Galip Avanos paints handmade Cappadocian ceramics in traditional and contemporary patterns. Cobalt under a good glaze glows in daylight; take the piece to the window before deciding. Cappadocia pieces are red clay under paint, so a chip shows dark where an Iznik chip shows white.

Hüseyin Karaca opened a 30-person glass-decorating workshop in Istanbul's Süleymaniye district in 1973. The company later added porcelain, then stainless steel cookware, building today's Karaca home goods brand.
Best for A Süleymaniye glass workshop in 1973 grown into cookware and textiles worldwide.
Karaca began in 1973 as a 30-person glass-decorating workshop that Hüseyin Karaca opened in Istanbul's Süleymaniye district, applying patterns onto glassware rather than manufacturing homeware outright. The business expanded material by material over the following decades: porcelain production followed in the 1990s, then stainless steel cookware and cutlery in 1994, each addition building out a broader home-goods catalogue rather than replacing the original glass line.
The Karaca Home brand — the housewares, textiles and small-appliance line most shoppers now associate with the name — launched in 2012, formalizing what had by then become a diversified manufacturer, importer and retailer rather than a single-category glass workshop. Family members beyond Hüseyin Karaca joined the business as it grew, keeping ownership inside the Karaca family across the company's expansion.
From that single Süleymaniye workshop, the company has grown into one of Turkey's largest home-goods retailers, now operating stores across dozens of countries. The throughline from 1973 to today is incremental: each new product category — porcelain, steel, then Karaca Home's broader housewares — was added onto the last rather than replacing it.
