SUMMARY
Byzantine glass findings originating from Constantinople have been detected, so far, in St Polyeuktos (Saraçhane) and in the monasteries of Pantokrator (Zeyrek Camii) and Chora (Kariye Camii). A large number of valuable enamel and glass-decorated objects, possibly from the Byzantine capital, can be seen in collections and museums all over the world. However, insufficient written evidence, as well as inadequate excavation findings, does not allow us to form a complete image on glass-working activities in Byzantine Constantinople. |
