Tabrizi tradition

Tabrizi tradition, Tabrizi workshop, was an architectural style that originated in Tabriz, Iran during the Ilkhanate. By the 1330s, a workshop was established in Cairo teaching the Tabrizi tradition of ceramic tile, including the construction and decoration of minarets. By the 1400s, Tabrizi craftsmen were working in the Ottoman Empire constructing the Green Mosque, Bursa, which has similarities to the Blue Mosque in Tabriz and the Muradiye Complex in Bursa. After the sacking of Tabriz, the Ottoman sultan Selim I brought Tabrizi craftsmen to Istanbul to start a royal ceramic workshop based on Tabrizi traditions.
