In 2005 in the Old Town of Elblag (Elbing) a number of fragments of stove tiles were found on the building plot at 9 Bednarska Street. The tiles were dated to the 15th c; the dating was based on the fragments of clay vessels, both local and imported. The pieces come from at least four finial tiles decorated with openwork tracery topped with wimpergs. The ornament has the form of a late-Gothic twin-lancet window with the motif of quatrefoil above. The finials of the tiles have an attachment shaped as a woman's head with distinct features and hairstyle. One of the tiles has a slightly different tracery ornament - some traces on its base suggest that the tracery might have had the form of a late-Gothic single-lancet window with a quatrefoil placed centrally over it. There is also a fragment of a filling tile; its ornamental border is identical with the wimpergs of the finial tiles and it has a six-pointed star in the corner.

A huge collection of ceramics finds was discovered by digging a basement on the court of the family house in the village Šintava (district Galanta, Slovakia), in March 2020. For this reason, the Department of Archaeology at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra realized archaeological excavation. During the excavation were documented three settlement features, which were secondary filled mostly with the ceramics. Some of them were fragments of stove tiles, especially panel stove tiles with different types of motifs. In this study, the collection of stove tiles are presented and evaluated by iconography, morphology, type-chronological classification, and also an extension on the territory of Slovakia.

Stove tiles with the motifs of Saints with their typical attributes under the Gothic vault appear on the extensive territory of the northern part of the Carpathian Basin. Their production in the last quarter of the 15th century was concentrated in the manufactory in Banská Bystrica, which ceased to exist in the fire of the town in 1500. According to the latest findings, the so-called Banská Bystrica type of stove tiles also appears in the following period. This means that the production of the manufactory either continued after the fire, or the manufactory controlled the stove production of smaller local workshops in the wider range. New findings of the stove tiles with the depiction of St. Margaret were found during the excavations of the Oponice Castle. The aim of the paper is to include them into the series of Banská Bystrica Saints, to evaluate the current state of research and to introduce a new perspective on the issue of stove tile production.
