This study examines the vitreous point-bead chalice from the Treasury of St. Marco's, analysing the discussions of André Grabar and Axel von Saldern regarding its dating and provenance. Through an in-depth review of glass production between the 10th and 11th centuries, the materials used, manufacturing techniques, compositional patterns and the main centres of glass production at the time are explored. The aim is to provide a detailed context that can support the analysis of the chalice. Subsequently, the morphological study and compositional analysis of the artefact is combined with other case studies, seeking to reconstruct the aesthetic, social and cultural dialogue logics of the period. This integrated approach makes it possible to highlight the connections between different glass productions and to deepen our understanding of the aesthetic and cultural influences between the Byzantine and Sasanian worlds. The conclusions of the study aim to further clarify the provenance and chronology of the St. Marco's chalice, offering an interdisciplinary perspective between compositional, morphological and material science analysis for a more complete understanding of the artefact and its historical context.
Il presente studio esamina il calice vitreo a point-perle del Tesoro di San Marco, analizzando le discussioni di André Grabar e Axel von Saldern riguardo la sua datazione e provenienza. Attraverso un'approfondita revisione della produzione vetraria nel periodo tra la Tarda antichità e il Medioevo, si esplorano i materiali utilizzati, le tecniche di fabbricazione, gli schemi compositivi e i principali centri di produzione vetraria dell'epoca. L'obiettivo è fornire un contesto dettagliato che possa supportare l'analisi del calice. Successivamente, si combinano lo studio morfologico e l'analisi composizionale del reperto con altri casi studio, cercando di ricostruire le logiche di dialogo estetico, sociale e culturale dell'epoca. Questo approccio integrato permette di evidenziare le connessioni tra le diverse produzioni vetrarie e di approfondire la comprensione dei legami stilistici e culturali tra i territori dell'impero bizantino, sasanide e di quello islamico. Le conclusioni dello studio mirano a chiarire ulteriormente la provenienza e la cronologia del calice di San Marco, offrendo una prospettiva interdisciplinare tra l'analisi compositiva, morfologica e la scienza dei materiali per una comprensione più completa del manufatto e del suo contesto storico.

Abstract
This study examines the vitreous point-bead chalice from the Treasury of St. Marco's, analysing the discussions of André Grabar and Axel von Saldern regarding its dating and provenance. Through an in-depth review of glass production between the 10th and 11th centuries, the materials used, manufacturing techniques, compositional patterns and the main centres of glass production at the time are explored. The aim is to provide a detailed context that can support the analysis of the chalice. Subsequently, the morphological study and compositional analysis of the artefact is combined with other case studies, seeking to reconstruct the aesthetic, social and cultural dialogue logics of the period. This integrated approach makes it possible to highlight the connections between different glass productions and to deepen our understanding of the aesthetic and cultural influences between the Byzantine and Sasanian worlds. The conclusions of the study aim to further clarify the provenance and chronology of the St. Marco's chalice, offering an interdisciplinary perspective between compositional, morphological and material science analysis for a more complete understanding of the artefact and its historical context.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
