The paper focuses on a comparison of the proportions and distributions of both luxury and ordinary glass vessels within the assemblages of glass finds obtained from selected cesspits in the area of the Prague Castle, as well as the noble palaces at Hradčany dating to the Early Modern Period. The presentation of the results of new chemical analyses conducted on selected glass vessels forms an integral part of this paper. These results are set in a broader historical context, and shed some new light on the provenance of glass production in 17th century Bohemia.
