Pera Museum presents a selection from the Suna and Inan Kirac Foundation Kütahya Tiles and Ceramics Collection focusing on coffee, which was at the center of drinking culture during Ottoman era and continued to be so through the Republic of Turkey. One of the three big collections of Suna and Inan Foundation, Kütahya tiles and ceramics have been an important branch of Ottoman arts and crafts from the 18th to the 20th century. Preserving its cultural importance since its first discovery, coffee pursued its adventure in our daily lives with contribution of ceramics masters from Kütahya.

When John Timbs (1801-1875), English antiquary, was in his sixteenth year, he was apprenticed to a druggist and printer at Dorking. He had early shown literary capacity, and when nineteen began to write for the Monthly Magazine. A year later he became secretary to Sir Richard Phillips, its proprietor, and permanently adopted literature as a profession. He was successively editor of the Mirror of Literature, the Harlequin, the Literary World, and sub-editor of the Illustrated London News. He was also founder and first editor of Year-Book of Science and Art. His published works amounted to more than one hundred and fifty volumes. In 1834 he was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. VERIA BX 2
