We would like to! We do have a few things that might be of interest: smarthistory.org/mimar-sinan-rustem-pasha-mosque-istanbul/ and smarthistory.org/iznik-ewer/
I really do not want to be nitpicky because this is such excellent content and I am greatly fond of this channel but for the description, the second speaker was not Beth Harris that’s Stephen Zucker!
Dr. Zucker's "a pitcher!" was funny. This made me wonder when a pitcher stops being a pitcher and becomes a ewer (or vice-versa).. Maybe they're just completely interchangeable. I also wondered about "grotesque" meaning what it does in this context - did the etymology borrow from these little drawings and somehow transform into its common meaning today? I like words. Ceramics... not quite as much, lol. 😅 I do look forward to trying my hand at making them, though.
Great topic! I'm always interested in ceramic history yet didn't know about the Medici attempt at porcelain.
YAY! New smarthistory content! It’s a great day already
Yes
These pieces are beautiful
please make a video about Ottoman ceramics as well

Your video videos are so helpful for AP European! Thank you!
They are lovely, and I continue to find it fascinating what people put such value in.

Fixed! Thanks for catching that.
