SHAHDAR; (Cracks on the Tile)
It is an Ottoman term meaning branched or twig-like. In ceramic works, cracks on the glaze (glass melt) caused by humidity and moisture are called SHAHDAR. Every tile can eventually develop Shahdar. Some may form in a few days, while others may take centuries. This is like the wrinkles that appear on our skin as we age. Ottoman artists, who imbued every motif and color they used on tiles with different meanings, also attributed a saying to SHAHDAR: “Just as a person’s skin wrinkles as they age, a tile also becomes Shahdar.”
