Konik-sivri dipleri, küresel gövdeleri, dar ağız deliği çapları, yüksek sıcaklıklarda pişirilen oldukça dayanıklı hamurları ve kalın cidarları ile karakterize olan kürevî-konik kaplar Mısır’dan Orta Asya’ya, Doğu Avrupa’dan Akdeniz’e kadar farklı arkeolojik kontekstlerde ele geçirilmiştir.

Bu çalışmada Türk ve İslam Eserleri Müzesi’nde bulunan ve ilk defa bilim dünyası ile paylaşılacak olan 33 adet kürevî-konik kap incelenmiş, fotoğraf çekimleri, çizimleri yapılarak kataloglamıştır. Bu kapların Müze envanter kayıtlarına göre Tel-Halef ve Halep’ten geldikleri tespit edilmiştir. Kapların literatürdeki diğer örneklerle yapılan stil kritiği ve analojik tetkikleri neticesinde, 12-14 yüzyıllara ait oldukları ve Zengî Döneminde kullanıldıkları sonucuna varılmıştır.
