Summary/Abstract: In this article we are presenting 7 fragments of ceramic moulds, an ellipsoidal vessel, a bowl (prepared for glazing) and 9 tripods that the Museum of History and Archeology of ICEM Tulcea purchased in 2006 from a man from Isaccea. These ceramic items from Isaccea have common traits with similar finds from the centers of the Golden Horde - Sudak, Orheiul Vechi, Costesti, Akkerman, dated to the 14th century. The discovery of specific Golden Horde pottery proves not only the existence of a strong economic center in Isaccea, where a pottery workshop was operational, but also the presence of specialized craftsmen.
