Tiles are known from the Seljuk period, which use the minai technique. The technique involved the use of seven colors, with blue, green and turquoise applied on an underglaze and fired. Other colors such as yellow, red, white, black and sometimes gilt were then applied on top of this, and re-fired at a lower temperature.[1]
