Recent work at Qantir-Piramesses revealed a group of crucibles related to glass-working. At least 40 individual crucibles were identified, dating to the reign of Ramesses II or slightly earlier. They are almost cylindrical in shape. The fabric was a local Nile clay (Vienna Nile E) without much visible temper. Most fragments are coated on the inside with a white layer. The crucibles resemble finds from Tell el-Amarna, also attributed to New Kingdom glass-working. They also relate to a solid glass ingot fitting precisely into the reconstructed crucibles. The crucible fragments from Qantir allow us to deduce their original mode of operation, and give new insight into the organisation of Egyptian glass-making and high temperature industries.
