Investigations and new publications of the stove
tiles collections allow more fully study regional culture
of Ukrainian towns in the 15th—18th centuries. They
give rich material for the characteristic of everyday life
in influential centers like Spaso-Preobrazhensky monastery
in Dubno. Because of archeological excavations
the first chronologic group of tiles was distinguished.
It had been used until the monastery was rebuilt from
wooden to stone complex in the end of the 16th — the
beginning of the 17th century. Till this time pot, basin
and plate tiles had been used. The top chronologic line of using of tiles with renaissance topics can be correct
till the first decades of the 17th century. Close analogies for the ornamental designs on the tiles are known
in Polish, Lithuania and Byelorussia. The tiles with knight images testified a guardianship of monastery
by the princes Ostrogsky. The identical tiles were used for the decoration of their castle. Craftsmen, who made
tiles for the monastery, were doing the same for the castle and also to order of some rich citizens in close
time. Their characteristic feature was some kind of mobility, which allows them personally or by mediation
of others centers adopt popular styles of that time in Polish and Lithuania.
