%X There are features that make cities different from each other. Natural and artificial environment of the city, historical, socio-cultural life, geography, vegetation, climate, architecture, religious structure, cradle civilizations, relations with other cultures, the occupations, can be given as examples. These features give cities a rich identity and strong image. Each city has its own traditional accumulations. By using these accumulations, preservation of the urban tradition can be ensured both by production and various activities. Activities and productions that emphasize city identities support urban identity. This situation affects the economy, culture and tourism of the city. It is inevitable for people to buy souvenirs about the places they visit during their travels. In this paper, products sold as souvenir ceramic objects will be examined in terms of urban identity. Kutahya, Canakkale and Avanos the district of Nevsehir and Iznik the district of Bursa were selected as the samples. In these cities, it will be explored what the souvenir ceramic objects are, how much they reflect the identity of the city, whether the products in markets, shops or store that are sold belong to another country, culture or city and all the results will be shared. Consequently, it is seen that many products such as plates, bowls, vases, jars, flasks, mugs, ashtrays, sugar bowls, tiles, panels and jewelry are considered as souvenir ceramic objects. It is also seen that while the souvenir ceramic objects in the selected cities are similar in terms of form and usage characteristics, they are different in terms of d¨¦cor and form. It is understood that in some cities, the products belonging to different countries and cultures are found in sales departments as if suppress urban identity. It can be said that the products of different cultures gradually become intertwined with the urban identity and become more familiar to the city. This situation should be regarded as a new problem and should have measures to increase the awareness of local governments, non-governmental organizations and the market in order to protect the identity of the city
