Kutahya porcelain is a type of ware produced from clay soil that has been popular for centuries. Its uniqueness in terms of production process and design makes it a sought-after product.
Kutahya isn’t just a brand name; it’s a city in western Turkey synonymous with ceramic art. The region has been the heart of ceramic production since the Phrygian era, but it truly flourished under the Ottomans, becoming famous for Çini (traditional tiles) that adorn mosques and palaces across the country.
In this article, we will take a look at the history of Kutahya Porcelain and how you can own these beautiful porcelains today with updated prices for late 2025.
About Kutahya Porcelain
I’m sure you’ve heard of Kutahya Porselen, a Turkish porcelain and ceramic manufacturer famous for its unique designs. With a production capacity of 120 million pieces per year and an average of 330 thousand pieces per day, Kutahya Porselen is one of the three largest ceramic manufacturers in Europe.
Kutahya Porcelain Company was founded in 1970. Although it initially started as a public company, the Güral family later expanded the business by purchasing most of the shares, steering it toward the global powerhouse it is today.
The famous porcelain company operates a total of six factories with a closed area of 160,000 square meters, producing both hard porcelain and ceramics.
While the production capacity remains steady, their global reach has expanded significantly. The company now exports its products to more than 70 countries around the world (up from 52 just a few years ago). The most important markets include the United States, Canada, Japan, Northern European countries, and North African countries. Of course, they also have thousands of sales points right here in Turkey.
Kutahya ceramic porcelain offers not only porcelain kitchenware but also many products including ceramics, tableware, cups, accessories, home decoration, and handicrafts.

There are even Nano series that combine the texture of wood with natural ethnic patterns to create something truly special. These high-tech collections are scratch-resistant and have become a favorite for modern homes.
Whether you’re looking for something to impress your special guests or simply want to add a touch of Turkish heritage to your home, Kutahya Porselen is definitely worth a look!
What Makes Kutahya Porcelain Famous?
Kutahya Porselen products are known for their distinct designs and high quality. I was very surprised to learn that the new designs offered by Kutahya Porselen include not just porcelain dinner sets, but also porcelain objects, tableware designs, accessories, home decoration, and handmade items with the concept of timeless elegance.
In Turkish culture, purchasing a high-quality dinner set is often part of the çeyiz (dowry) preparation for marriage. This tradition drives companies to produce exceptionally durable and elaborate sets.

Kutahya ceramic & porcelain products are also famous for their designs derived from Turkish art, where you can find many handmade ceramic plates. The brand has recently focused on its premium “Bone” series (like Bone Luz and Bone Olympos), which offers a finer, more translucent finish compared to standard hard porcelain.
In addition to offering elegant and diverse designs, Kutahya Porselen also offers you a special design opportunity. Here the company provides the opportunity to put your personal design on products at reasonable prices.
In addition to high quality and elegant artistic designs, Kutahya Porselen offers competitive prices as well as online purchasing and home delivery with a guarantee against breakage, a crucial feature given the fragile nature of the goods.
Although there are many types of regional pottery in Turkey, Kutahya Porcelain is arguably one of the most well-known and popular. Famous for its vibrant colors and intricate designs, it is a symbol of Turkish heritage and craftsmanship.
