The Painted and Glazed Ware are decorated on the exterior with or without a white or very light brown slip under red- or brown-painted designs, usually consisting of intersecting double lines or stylized vegetal motifs, and occasional splashes of dark green glaze. The sherds that were found are for the most body sherds and are mainly of closed vessels.
This ware shares visual and stylistic similarities to Rashaya el-Fukhar Ware, which dates to the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. They may in fact be the earlier version (or prototype) of the latter ware. Rashaya el-Fukhar Ware was manufactured in a village named Rashaya (hence, the name: fukhar means pottery in Arabic), situated on the southwestern slopes of Mount Hermon (Jabal Haramun), just above the Hazbani River.
The date was established according to it appearance in a well dated, fifteenth century context in the Safed Castle (Stern, in preparation).
This ware was found mainly in the Galilee and Golan Sumaqa (Tsioni 2010:228, 230–236, Figs. 8–12) and other unpublished sites in the Golan (Avissar 2009:9).
