    Annotation The article is devoted to the study of metallurgical crucibles from the jewelry workshops of one of the capitals of the Golden Horde - Sarai al-Jedid - that had been producing gold jewelry in the 1340s-1370s. The chemical composition of the clay fabrics of crucibles and to a greater extent the composition of crucible slags formed in the contact zone between the vessel walls and their filling during melting was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The analyses let us reveal the composition of the crucible molding fabrics, which is almost identical to the composition of tableware from a nearby pottery workshop. The article also provides data on assay analysis of the workshop's products. The fine of the gold evidences that jewelers' skill and the quality of technical ceramics let them achieve great results.
