Shop owner Fereç Zan sells a spectacular variety of urns and fireplace ornaments in his tiny shop in the Cebeci Han. Completed ceramic bowls are flown in from Kutahya, and the copper is hand worked on-site in the workshop on the second level at the back of the adjacent Iç Cebeci Han. Modestly sized urns sell for around 75YTL ($65/£29; significantly less than the 220 of whatever currency they care to quote in the Arasta Bazaar).
