Özet
The construction of the palace was initiated in 1450; furthermore, new buildings were added to it and the old buildings were restored in the Classical Ottoman Period. Disused by the sultans as of the second half of the 18th century, the palace was negatively affected by the Russo-Ottoman War and the process of disappearance of the palace commenced. Ceramics from different materials and of different types that belonged to the Ottoman Period were found during the excavations carried out at different times. The red-paste glazed ceramics include a small amount of ceramics with sgraffito decorations and underglaze painted ceramics as well as abundant monochrome glazed ceramics. Considering their analogues, it is understood that the monochrome glazed ceramics dated to the late period were produced at the workshops in and around Edirne. On the other hand, the unglazed ceramics comprise water containers, lids, and the rim sherds of storage jars in various shapes. Given their decoration characteristics and shapes, these ceramics are again dated to the late period. The place of the glazed and unglazed ceramics discovered in the excavations of 2013 and 2014 in the Ottoman ceramic art was evaluated in this paper.
