The article presents two fragments of Glazed White Ware I of Constantinopolitan production revealed in the cistern for salted fish uncovered in the quarter X-B in the Northern district of Chersonesos: a fragment of a spouted jug with dark olive glaze on the interior and fragment of a jug with double handle with a drop of yellow glaze. Exact analogies have come from deposit 30 of 650—670 from Sarachane in Constantinople. The cistern was filled up in the late 6th — early 7th centuries at the earliest or within the 7th century that corresponds to the 7th century date of the fragments presented. Besides, they belong to the types of vessels never found at the sites of the Northern Black Sea coast before. Thus, these two sherds of the extremely rarely occurred pottery expand the known assortment of GWW I brought here from Byzantine capital.
