Kütahya Vase Monument
Merkez, Kütahya
A giant vase on Zafer Meydanı in front of the governor's office, symbolizing the city's tile tradition.
Its story
The Vase, regarded as Kütahya's best-known symbol, was designed in 1974 by Ahmet Fuat Gürel. It stands on Zafer Meydanı (Victory Square) in the city center, in the area in front of the governor's office building. Given a new cladding in 2004, the monument's mosaic surface was frequently worn by the weather, so it was later renewed with a more durable method by State Artist Hakan Kulkoç on a voluntary basis. The square is within walking distance of the Clock Tower and the bazaar.
