Beautiful tiles of Persia (2)

The splendour and architectural beauty of the Iranian mosques is owed to the  tile work and artistry of tile workers. Tile making and tile working are among the most spectacular Iranian arts which culminate in the tile work of mosques and historical structures of Iran,

The tile makers of Isfahan, Kashan, and Rey used to be unique masters of their craft. Tiles were designed, painted and decorated in various types. Various tiles were used in the embellishment of mosques. Tiles contained floral designs in Arabesque and phrases of the Holy Quran in different Arabian calligraphy known as Sols, Nastaliq, Kufic, etc., all on tiles of deep azure blue or other colours. Tiles used in non-religious buildings were designed and painted with brighter floral and animal, and sometimes human images.
