This article describes faience fragments, a kind of Turkish art ceramics of XVII-XVIII cc., which
have been produced in the Ottoman Empire in the city of Kütahya. Fragments of those cups
are found on the territory of the former Ottoman fortress of Sed-Islam situated not so far from
the Nedvigovka settlement of the Miasnikovskyi district of the Rostov region (on the left bank
of the river Mertvyi Donets). The authors cite the modern classification of "Turkish" ceramics
stored in archaeological funds of Archaeological reserve museum "Tanais". Kütahya potters
have used Chinese and local Turkish motifs for decoration of their production.
