We have evaluated a prototype glass doped with titanium from the point of view of its basic spectroscopic characteristics. Measurements of the luminescence lifetime at various wavelengths, luminescence spectra and time resolved luminescence spectra have been performed. Using the obtained characteristics we have attempted to interpret the de-excitation mechanism in the Ti:glass. For sufficiently high excitation energy the luminescence involves the following centers: Ti$+3$PLU$/, emitting at 780 nm, Ti$+4$PLU$/, emitting at 460 nm and an unidentified luminescence center emitting at approximately 560 nm.
