Description
The first samples of a ceramic tile were found to Entre Rios the Tiger and Euphrates. According to researchers the first tile by the sizes and a form reminded a mosaic which in the second and third millennium was used B.C. for finishing of temples and palaces of the nobility. However such tile differed from a mosaic in the complete drawing represented on each tile. On thickness it was a little thinner than a small brick. The ornament in the form of patterns of various form was applied on the face of a tile. The modern tile in east style inherited much the general with a tile of Entre Rios of tendencies in production of an ornament, however value of the majority of symbols is irrevocably lost. Long time finishing in the Babylon temples and palaces was carried out by the brick covered with glaze — the predecessor of a ceramic tile. Glaze thickness on such bricks exceeded 10 mm that gave it extraordinary durability. Mainly turquoise and light green glaze which was applied on drawing was applied. In Babylon the drawings which stylized plants, animals, geometrical figures were popular. However the ceramic tile in that look in what it is known by us, appeared only during an era Akhemenidov — a drevnepersidsky dynasty which most famous representative was Darius III crushed by Alexander of Macedon. The ceramic tile of 15х15 cm in size and 10 mm thick was found in the drevneiransky cities of Suz and Persepolis. From 3rd century BC to the 8th century AD the monopoly for production of a ceramic tile belonged to the drevneiransky states.
