“…The typological composition of the windowpane (for the region of Belgium) is examined, for example, by Schalm et al (2007), who state that in the 15th century, a typical arrangement of windows is made from rounded rondels, while, for the later period of the 16th century, this study lists several compositions of variously combined quadrangles. For the area of Poland, we can, for example, mention Tykocin Castle from the second half of the 17th century with window glass made of fillings in the shape of quadrangles and glass based on HLLA (Bis, 2019).…”

A total of 101 fragments of the window rondels and fillings from four waste pits located in Prague‐Hradčany and dating to between 1500 and 1775 were analysed. In the sample set examined, ash‐based glass was found to be the most abundant (93 samples). The analysis also identified five fragments of non‐ash glass, that is, glass probably made with the addition of potash, two samples of sodium ash glass (containing halophytic plant ash used as an alkaline raw material), and one fragment of high‐lime low‐alkali (HLLA) ash‐based glass. The evolution of window glass composition in the Czech Republic is shown to differ in comparison with other European regions where the HLLA‐type predominates.
