The art of Turkish tiles and ceramics occupies a place of prominence in the
history of Islamic art. Its roots can be traced at least as far back as the
Uighurs of the 8th and 9th centuries. Its subsequent development was influenced
by Karakhanid, Ghaznavid, and (especially) Iranian Seljuk art. With the Seljuks’
victory over the Byzantines at Malazgirt in 1071, the art followed them into
Anatolia and embarked upon a new period of strong development fostered by the
Anatolian Seljuk sultanate. - in: http://anatoliahistory.com/2011/07/11/the-art-of-turkish-tiles-and-ceramics/
