Decorative motifs and patterns on daily-used objects reflect the cross-cultural exchange among these civilizations with the synthesis of not only the Islamic style of art in the Italian culture, but also the Venetian artistic style in Ottoman art. Carpets and ceramics are among the most significant art objects, reflecting this synthesis, since a large amount of carpet and ceramic trade was made between the Ottomans and the Venetians. Therefore, this paper will specialize on carpets and ceramics as the icons of the 16 th century cross-cultural exchange of the Ottoman Empire with Venice by making comparative analysis in their decorative arts.
