Handcrafted Silver Hittite Sun Relief Glass Vase

UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Collection | Living Anatolian Legacy in Glass

Bronze Age Hittite Sun Disk Silver Relief Glass Vase

The thousands-year-old story of Anatolia is brought into the present through traditional glass craftsmanship.

This distinctive glass vase is part of the Hittite Collection, inspired by archaeological discoveries from Alacahoyuk dating back to the 3rd millennium BCE, reflecting the Hittite and Hatti civilizations. The “Hittite Sun Disk” motif—symbolizing the eternal cycle of the universe, life, and abundance—has been reinterpreted on a frosted white glass surface using refined silver detailing techniques.

Recognized as one of the most powerful symbols of Mesopotamia and Anatolia, the Sun Disk has historically represented cosmic order and royal authority. This monumental form, included in the UNESCO World Heritage context, is preserved today in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations.
