Extract
It is difficult to distinguish the eastern series of cut decorated glasses from the western ones. The origin of the western series of some forms with this kind of decoration is attributed to north Italy, while that of the eastern ones is attributed to north Syria by Hayes (1975: 36). However, it is difficult to find parallels in north Syria (Lightfoot 1990: 8), and examples have been found in Cyprus, in the southern coasts of Anatolia, in the Aegean region, in Cyrenaica, in the northern coasts of the Black Sea and in south Russia (Harden 1958: 49, no 13; Vessberg 1965: 44/19; Oliver 1983: 255, no 51; Hayes 1975: 56 no 132; Price 1985: 72, 96, no 8; Dusenbery 1967: 45–46, nos 36, 37, 39, 41; Sorokina 1965: 234–35, fig 71.20; Zapheiropoulou 1984: 308–09; Brock, Young 1949: pls 28.2, 30.4; Davidson 1952: 101, fig 8 no 367, 369). Therefore, it is accepted that the origins of some series of cut decorated glasses are in western Anatolian workshops (Lightfoot 1990: 9).
