До питання вивчення музейних збірок гутного скла

Abstract

Звернено увагу на збірку скляних речей, яка виявлена у Підгірцях та зберігається у Історико-краєзнавчому музеї м. Винник, а також на гутні вироби з Історико-краєзнавчого музею м. Володимир-Волинського. Подано опис скляних речей, на основі чого прокласифіковано гутні вироби. Real monuments found during archaeological research, do not often get adequate coverage in the scientific literature. Usually this is due to the priority research areas. The researchers usually refer to their findings only while enumerating the material, and focus their attention on other aspects. This situation is typical for blown products. Therefore, there is a necessary task of studying blown glass complexes located in the museums which were not the subject of a separate research study. Special attention in the article is focused on the collection of glass wares, which was found in Pidhirtsi and is stored in the Historical Museum of Wynnyky, and blown glass products from the Historical Museum of Volodymyr-Volynskyi. Findings from Pidhirtsi were found during excavations on the territory of Pidhirci Monastery of St. Basil the Great while Volodymyr-Volynskyi glass comes from surveys as well as from chance finds in the city and its environs. Glass products in the above mentioned museums are various bottles, glasses, pharmacy utensils, etc. Based on additional literature, the study of museum collections allows a provisional classification of blown products on the functional-typological principle: vessels for storing liquids and bulk materials, vessels for drinking, pharmacy utensils; window glass; figured glass; other glass products. Continued study of similar museum collections will allow this classification to be concretized. At the same time, specifying the number, the parameters and the shape of glass products, their finishes and finding similarities will allow to determine the level of blown glass industry development in general and blown glass craftsmanship in particular.
