    Technical Research Bulletin Volume 8 2014 SUMMARY A Venetian enamelled and gilded goblet (WB.55) is part of Technical study of a the collection bequeathed to the British Museum by Baron Ferdinand Rothschild in 1898. Conservation treatment in 1994 provided the rare Venetian turquoise opportunity to remove a small sample containing some opaque white as well as rare turquoise glass. These fragments were analysed glass goblet from the using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry and by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass Waddesdon Bequest spectrometry. Further analyses were carried out on the enamels and blue glass knop of the goblet using surface X-ray fluorescence. Dora Thornton, Ian Freestone, William This contribution locates the object in the context of Venetian glass of the Renaissance as well as the history of collecting. The Gudenrath, Martina Bertini, Andrew conservation history and the processes employed to conserve the Meek and Denise Ling object prior to its redisplay in the new Waddesdon Gallery at the British Museum in 2015 are described. Careful macroscopic and microscopic observations are combined with the chemical analyses to outline a comprehensive chaîne opératoire for the object. Technically, it is fully consistent with current understanding of glass production in Venice in the late fifteenth century. The goblet The Venetian turquoise goblet (WB.55), which is the focus of this contribution, is one of the finest Renaissance glasses to be seen anywhere in the world, Figure 1. It came to the British Museum as part of the Waddesdon Bequest, a treas- ury collection formed over two generations by Baron Anselm de Rothschild of Frankfurt and Vienna, and his son Baron Ferdinand Rothschild, MP.

These materials evolved slowly into more specialized substances such as enamels, engobes, lustres, or even modern metallic glass. The nature and properties of vitreous materials are summarized briefly, with an eye to the historical evolution of glass production in the Mediterranean world. Focus is on the evolution of European, Egyptian, and Near East materials. Notes on Chinese and Indian glass are reported for comparison. The most common techniques of mineralogical and chemical characterization of vitreous materials are described, highlighting the information derived for the purposes of archaeometric analysis and conservation. 1. Introduction: chemistry, mineralogy and texture of vitreous materials Glass is a solid material that does not have long-range order in the atomic arrangement, as opposed to crystalline solids having ordered atomic configurations on a lattice (Doremus, 1994; Shelby, 2005). It has been shown experimentally (Huang et al., 2012) that amorphous solids can be described adequately by the model proposed by Zachariasen, the so-called random network theory (Zachariasen, 1932). Because of the contribution of configurational entropy, glass has a higher Gibbs free energy than a solid with the same composition.

    Glossary of Glass Terms A Abrasion The technique of creating shallow decoration by grinding with a wheel or other device. The decorated areas remain unpolished. Acanthus In art, an ornament that resembles the leaves of the species Acanthus spinosus plant. Acid Etching The process of creating decoration on the surface of glass by applying hydrofluoric acid. A similar effect is weathering, obtained by exposing glass to fumes of hydrofluoric acid to create an all- over matte surface. Acid Polishing The technique of creating a glossy, polished surface by dipping (usually) cut glass into a mixture of hydrofluoric and sulfuric acids. Developed in the late 19th century. Acid Stamping The process of acid etching a trademark or signature onto annealed glass using a rubber stamp-like tool. Aeolipile (From Greek): Globular or pear-shaped object with a narrow neck and mouth. Its function is believed to be as containers.

  • Glossary of Venetian Glass Making Processes
    Glossary Of Venetian Glass Making Processes Murano glassmakers held a virtual monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries and as such it remains the longest lasting centre for glass making in history. During this time they developed, or procured and refined, many processes which we have made reference to in our extensive History of Venetian Glass guide. This BigBeadLittleBead glossary describes the individual process, some of the science involved, and who the technique or process can be attributed to. Aventurina - also known as Aventurine or Adventurina This process involves adding micro particles of copper, gold, or chromic oxide to molten glass after which deglassification, during the cooling stage, results in the separation of the particles from the molten mass. This produces an affect whereby the fine particles are suspended in the glass and appear like gold flecks when they catch the light. The root meaning of this word is sometimes wrongly ascribed to avventura (or adventure in Italian), rather than the correct ventura (fortune or chance in Italian), but both descriptions give a good idea of the skilled nature of producing consistent pieces. This process was a closely guarded secret when first developed and refined in the 15th Century, coming back to prominence in the mid 19th century at the glass works of Pietro Bigaglia and then Salviati & C. It is used for beads, vases, and a variety of other objects. Image: Vintage orange and black Aventurina glass beads. Battuto - Meaning struck or beaten This is a cold working finishing treatment using a grinding wheel to mark the surface of the glass.
