“…The wares that have been more studied are the tiles with synthetic bodies used to decorate monuments; and the best known are those of the Kubad-Âbâd palace located near the Beyşehir Lake, dating from the first half of the 13th century, which corresponds to the date of construction of the palace (Yeğingil and Freestone, 2008;Freestone et al, 2009). Tiles from other Seljuk monuments in Sivas, Tokat and Konya were also studied (Kiefer, 1956a(Kiefer, , 1956b(Kiefer, , 1956cHenderson and Raby, 1989;Demirci et al, 2004;Colomban et al, 2006), but the data about their contexts of discovery, their chronology, and their chemical compositions are relatively incomplete, which means it is not possible to propose a "solid" Seljuk referential, nor to directly compare the glaze compositions. Nevertheless, these studies propose that the glaze technologies of the Seljuk pottery -which are characterized by the use of soda-lime and alkali fluxes for transparent glazes, and lead-alkali fluxes and tin-oxide opacifiers for monochrome turquoise glazes -were different from those of Miletus Ware.…”
