Turkish coffee Glasses and may be full set:
As you know Turkish coffee is very very famous and a hard coffee like esspresso. Drink less but keep awake a long time. But I would like to highlight turkish coffee SPECIAL GLASSES are famous as much Turkish coffee.
So high reccomend to buy a ‘’Turkish Coffee Glass Set’’. I know at own country hard to find turkish coffee but for decoration it is very nice. Also you may use it to drink hard drinks or coffees like esspresso.
Usually it is 6 glass & 6 plate set and 12 pcs sets are around 130 to 270 tl rates(7 usd to 15 usd). Believe us you will have much more thanks comaring only spent 10 usd😊
Another option is buy full set of turkish coffee.(machine+coffee+glass set for 6 glass and plate)
Nalın:
It is very decorative an seems very luxerious trinket. It is made by hand with bending German silver bars.When you turn to your home decorativelly it will liven up your house. It made at Erzurum province of Turkey. Hard to find at İstanbul but if you find DO NOT MISS it. Physically it is much more worth than its price. It is usually between 15 usd to 50 usd depending different sizes.
If you take it out of its plastic due to oxidation it will become black by time. You may brush with carbonat and teeth brush to make it shinning. But most of the people like it more when it become litle black with oxidation. Also some people like it keeping not remove plastic and always shining. Up to you if you can buy😊 Due to hand made very limited production.
OltuTaşı Tesbih: (oltu Stone Tasbih):
Oltu is small town at east of Turkey. There is a big Oltu mine and srone is converted different type of products. Most populer one is tasbih (subha).
If you order in advance they type your name any side of it.

Around 30 oltu stone hand worker is available in the world(except seller commisioners ) but if you find original do not miss it.
