Tree of Life Ceramics & Gift Shop

It took a while to browse through their diverse collection of ceramics. Stuffs was very helpful throughout the whole process.

Overall, shopping here was a very pleasant experience!

A gorgeous place with the most beautiful Turkish ceramics I have ever seen! Friendly, welcoming, and very clued-up staff. They let me browse at leisure and answered all my questions about their art. A must-visit when visiting İstanbul, but don't leave without a beautiful souvenir from here.

Very nice collection of plates and all kind of ceramics. They have different sizes, color and shape, also the staffs are very kind and lovely. It is very close to blue mosque, easy to access!

We went in close to midnight, but the service was still great! The salesperson was very helpful in showing us different items, and showed us their special collection of glow in the dark tiles, and explained how they made their ceramic pieces by hand.

I bought a small teacup with a side plate. However, the boss was too kind to give my friends and I a free gift each as a special token! :-)

Very friendly, and very nice handmade ceramic items! Highly recommend all to go in to have a look.

Wonderful place for ceramics in Istanbul. We were looking for a ceramic tile or two as a souvenir of our trip to Turkey and they helped us find the perfect thing from among their extensive collection.

Fantastic place with an extremely large choice of traditional ceramic pieces of art. I was so impressed that I could not resist buying some of them even though I haven't planned to :)
Nice staff and of course a very kind owner.
I hope to buy more next time I'll be in Istanbul.

We visited tree of life ceramics looking for a traditional style Turkish plate and were not disappointed! The service was excellent, the staff were really friendly offering us tea while we looked through their products and helping us decide what we would buy. The prices were really competitive and the best we have seen in Istanbul. Highly recommend! Thank you again we are very happy with our choice.

All the work is authentic and very beautiful. The people there are very friendly and very helpful, you can even be treated with a glass of tea and also wifi. Also a great place to take pictures!

These are truly hidden gems that must be visited around Sultanahmet!

Incredible ceramics craftsmanship and simply the nicest store of its kind. We bought several pieces over the years.

Staff, and the owner Umit, is super friendly and knowledgeable, never pushy but instead interested in understanding what a customer wants and help find the right piece as most items are almost unique pieces.

When a shipment, unfortunately poorly handled by FedEx, and items arrived broken, Umit was very understanding, supportive and showing empathy, helped quickly find appropriate replacements.

Simply a great place for just a stroll, looking at nice ceramics and engage in a nice chat.

Would highly recommend!

We bought a wonderful tree of life art plate after a very competent an friendly advisory service. The shipping via cargoflight worked out wonderfully. The artwork arrived intact our office in austria in a very well packed wooden box. We give 5 stars and recommend shopping there.

Great craftsmanship in ceramics. Nicest store of the ones we’ve seen in the area. We bought 4 pieces here. Staff is very friendly as well. They even told us that the ceramics aren’t food friendly even knowing that would deter us from buying. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely beautiful works of art. Very friendly staff and prices are unmatched anywhere in Istanbul.

Lovely place! We couldn't pass by not watching a storefront with huge vases. The shopmen is very friendly and not pushy. You can take your time. It's a pleasure to be there and realize all spectre of ceramics. We could enjoy it everytime we walked to the hotel. Thanks to the owner for having us.

The ceramics here are incredible and of excellent quality. The salesman was very courteous and did not pressure us into buying anything. Even gave us prices for shipping. We also were offered beverages while we looked. I would not hesitate to do business with Tree of Life Ceramics in the future.

Absolutely beautiful shop, friendliest owner who cares about the experience of the customer more than anything. There is no better place for authentic, unique & quality ceramic in Istanbul. They ship overseas which was great for us who had just begun our travels.
Don't forget to ask about their glow in the dark ceramic, simply stunning!
Experienced traveler from Canada, 🇹🇷👌!

wonderful place with great collections. Even, the staffs are nice and super helpful. lovee!

Best place to buy authentic and handmade souvenirs. The store looks like a museum and every single piece is a work of art! They served us tea and the owner was very kind and let us look around with no pressure. After a difficult decision of what to get (everything is so beautiful!!) we even gifted us an extra souvenir. It's not your average cheap shop, and the quality is incomparable to what you can find in other places. Highly recommended!

Beautiful place, the shop owner and shopkeeper are humble too. There are many variants of ceramics from phospor to quartz. So glad i buy myself a souvenir from here. Thank you!

The owner of the store is polite, patient and very respectful. They have a variety of beautiful ceramics to choose from and I ended up buying a stunning hand-made bowl for a very reasonable price. It was an excellent shopping experience!

Such a perfect and charming place. If you you are looking for an opportunity to enjoy an atmospheric tour around the gems of Turkish arts that would be one !!! The owners speak in Turkish, English and Russian,Tatar without any hesitation. There are hidden chambers with an extra room on the ground floor (p.s. ask to turn of the light you’ll see fluorescent patterns). The goods are astonishing and can fit any taste( see my favourite dragon attached int he photos) You’ll be tread with Cold water and Lemon sweet tea. If you are a nice person you might even get a pleasant gift like we did 🥰. Really impressive attitude of the sellers and picturesque store ❤❤❤
