- Love: Tulips symbolize love due to their delicate beauty and elegant form.
- Beauty and Elegance: Known for their graceful appearance, tulip motifs highlight the artistry and refinement of Iznik tile craftsmanship.
- Perfection: Tulips are often seen as a symbol of perfection due to their symmetrical shape and balanced petals.
- Divinity: The resemblance of the word tulip to the word for God gives it spiritual significance.
- Cycle of Nature: As a harbinger of spring, tulips symbolize rebirth, renewal, and the cycles of nature.
- Nobility and Wealth: In the Ottoman Empire, tulips symbolized nobility, power, sophistication, and prosperity. They were prominently featured in palaces and significant structures.
- Turkish Culture and History: Tulips hold a special place in Turkish heritage. During the Ottoman period, tulips adorned royal gardens and became a cultural emblem. Tulip motifs in Iznik tiles represent this deep connection to Turkish history and culture.
