Abstract
AbstractGlazed pottery is a vivid symbol of the Golden Horde culture. The production of glazed dishes, mosaic architectural tiles, and toys was established almost everywhere in the Golden Horde cities. The products of these workshops are currently well studied from the standpoint of the morphology of products, stylistics of decor, but practically without taking into account the data of chemical and technological analyses. Based on the results of the analysis of glaze and clay matrix of the vessels obtained by scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive spectral analysis (SEM–EDS), this article presents the results of the chemical and technological analyses of Golden Horde glazed ceramics. The materials came from the pottery workshop in the eastern suburb of Saray al-Jedid of the Tsarevskoye medieval city. The pottery workshop on Estate III worked exclusively with a lead transparent glaze of the PbO-SiO2 type. The entire manufacturing process represents sustainable craft specialization and standardization of all stages of the production cycle from the selection and processing of reliable and limited raw materials and fixtures to finished products.KeywordsGolden hordeFourteenth centuryGlazed ceramicsChemical compositionTechnological characteristicsScanning electron microscopyEnergy dispersive spectral analysis
