Pottery of the Crusader, Ayyubid and Mamluk Periods in Israel

The technology and production of glazed ceramics from Middle Islamic Jerash, Jordan

“…). This finding is important because an Egyptian provenance of these wares had been discussed previously based on their style (Avissar and Stern ; Lichtenberger et al ., , 170), which can now be revised. Although a foreign provenance is postulated, the principle of procuring local raw materials (clay and flux for glaze) still applies to the production of these vessels, an observation that has already brought forth by other case studies on Islamic glazed ware production (Hallett et al .…”

Early Islamic Crude Handmade Ware: New Insights on the Typology, Chronology and Provenance of a Southern Levantine Handmade Pottery

“…the Negev and ‘Arabah). This is in contrast to the situation that characterized the Crusader, Ayyubid, Mamluk and Ottoman (or Middle and Late Islamic) periods (twelfth to early twentieth centuries), during which plain and (mostly paint‐) decorated handmade ceramics of nearly all functional categories were highly popular across the Levant (Avissar and Stern 2005; Walker 2009).…”

‘Novy Svet Ware’, an Exceptional Cargo of Glazed Wares from a 13th-Century Shipwreck near Sudak (Crimea, Ukraine)—Morphological Typology and Laboratory Investigations

“…Such ceramics with unsophisticated and simply‐made decoration were probably meant to satisfy mass‐consumption demand and were produced in such quantity that today it is difficult to find a city or even a more or less big settlement of the second half of the 13th to the first half of the 14th century in the Eastern Mediterranean region which did not yield these ceramic types. They have been found in excavations in Istanbul/Constantinople (Hayes, 1992) and Asia Minor including Iznik (François, 1997), Pergamon (Waksman and Spieser, 1997), and Gülpinar (Yenişehirlioğlu, 1989); the Near East (Avissar and Stern, 2005: fig. 20); the northern coast of the Black Sea at Belgorod‐on‐Dnester (Kravchenko and Stoliarik, 1983) and the Crimea at Chersonesos (Romanchuk, 2003: pl.…”

“…Several names have been used by different scholars for this ceramics type. Among them are: ‘Imitation Zeuxippus’, ‘Zeuxippus‐Influenced Ware’, ‘Glossy Ware’, ‘Zeuxippus Derivative’, ‘Orange‐Brown Glazed Ware’, ‘Regional Zeuxippus Derivative’, ‘Late Sgraffito’, ‘Zeuxippus Ware Imitation’, ‘Spirale‐Cerchio’, and ‘Zeuxippus Subtype’ (Avissar and Stern, 2005).
