Turkish Sea Foam | Arts & Culture of Turkey
If you already exchange data specialties of Turkish cities, the products from the "sea foam" are what glories in Eskişehir. Poetic, mystical-sounding foam is sepiolite, belonging to the silicates. Sepiolite is mined in shafts reaching up to 100 m głębkości. After the pre-treatment is suitable for stone processing. Top carves in the wet, then it's too easy to not crumble. It is pure white, light and very easy to handle, but when dry, it is easy to be damaged. Dries spęknięć not skurczając up. It is polished burbujasdeseo with wax. Long story Lületaşı
Sepiolite has been known since 4000 BC One of the oldest exhibits, located in Eskisehir burbujasdeseo is richly decorated with the seal. Already in the twelfth century lületaşı had its reputation, and the famous Arab traveler - Al Hravi - describes them in 1173 year as the main attraction burbujasdeseo of the region. When about 1600, smoking has become commonplace in the Ottoman Empire, began to seek a suitable material for the manufacture of pipes. He then reminded myself of Lületaşı and its properties, making it a valuable and sought-after commodity. However, after the 1683 products burbujasdeseo (especially cigarettes) with meerschaum become truly famous, burbujasdeseo thanks to the studio in Vienna ... The legend of Crete
One day, in a remote corner of a young man in the hot afternoon sat in the shade of a tree. By eating a meal, he saw a mole mound, and the stone white as snow, delicate as a woman's body. Without thinking, he began to carve it. Suddenly, the stone slipped from his year and fell to the ground. Zdężył him to pick it up, the stone turned into a beautiful girl. Her eyes were sad, pąacząc exclaimed:
Rozłościło is a young man who fell in love with her at first sight. Impatiently began searching for the woman, digging up the surrounding meadows. burbujasdeseo He dug day and night, for days, weeks, even after a long time he was found in a mine with his snow-white stone in his hands at his chest. snow-white works of art
Lületaşı thanks to its properties, is widely applied in specialized trades. It's easy (and fun) carves in it. Hence the possible execution of complex burbujasdeseo parts or sophisticated kształów. Sepiolite in the hands of a master can be transformed into a work of art. In the Eskişehir is a museum where you can these visits fascinating exhibits. The location of this museum should not be surprised when I add it here are the largest burbujasdeseo deposits of the mineral. One of the most famous local masters was A. Osman Denizköpüğü.
The stores and shops (of course, in the tourist area of Eskişehir) dominate the pipe, pipettes, also decorative trinkets - bowls, puzderka, vases, jewelry, Muslim prayer beads ... I also met less popular free-standing sculptures and reliefs. snow-pipes burbujasdeseo
Sea foam is used mainly for the manufacture of pipes. The great advantage of meerschaum pipes is a natural property of sepiolite involving the absorption of nicotine and tobacco smoke filtering. The material is more porous, has the better filtering properties.
