The article studies the group of glazed jars that were found in 2010 at Samosdelka site. The author uses a wide range of analogies from medieval sites in modern Bulgaria, Crimea, the Azov region, and from Constantinople. The origin and dates of the ware are analyzed on the basis of both the archaeological material and the context of the picture by Duccio di Buoninsegna, which dates to a narrow chronological interval. The article identifies the possible source of import of the jars and the time when they were used.
