Lavish glass goblets with covers became glass. It is an extraordinary sight indeed. “I guess this must be what staple products of the 18th century glass factories in Bohemia. While it felt like to visit a glass shop at one of the spas, back in the 19th colour was restricted to red twists in the stems, decoration on the thin century,” John remarks. “...or to be in a room in a castle overlooking clear bowls was created using ever more elaborate engraving. “Then the Bohemian forests, when a hunting party returned from stalking in the 1830s Bohemia discovered colour, and nothing was the same deer.” Simon agrees, and explains how these goblets were used, and again”. won, as trophies. Many were prizes, luxurious rewards for a successful day’s hunting. Friedrich Egermann is heralded as the inventor of many ingenious colour effects although he wasn’t the only maker whose use of colour “Amber goblets are the equivalent of the silver-gilt trophies, while clear transformed Bohemian glass. The Harrachov glassworks was the glass on the other hand is reflective of silver. Before the advent of leading manufactory in the region and many of the lots in this sale machine-production and mass manufacturing, transparent glass was were created there. “The key development was the application of considered to be a luxury item.

A very thin stain, barely 1mm all?” thick, was enough to turn a whole goblet bright red or golden yellow. It also provided the perfect canvas for a glass engraver.” “Red glass really is liquid gold...” Simon goes on to explain. “Glass makers used gold oxide as a decorating agent for red glass since the Every piece is carved and engraved entirely by hand.

Simon believes that constant experimentation to produce objects The subjects chosen by the engravers were closely linked to the in imitation of natural material – hardstones, gold and the like – was region. Bohemia—part of the Czech Republic today—had been central to the evolution of glass in Bohemia. “It stems from the famous for its hunting since the middle ages. By the 19th century, alchemist tradition and the creation of Treasuries by the rich and years of hunting and excessive poaching had almost wiped out bears famous.” Since mediaeval times, palaces created their own treasuries, and wolves, allowing instead large numbers of deer to thrive in the ‘Kunstkammer’ or ‘Cabinets’, to house imposing precious objects. forests.

However, to the authors’ knowledge, the historical production process itself and melting characteristics of the glasses have not yet been extensively investigated. The main focus of this paper is to describe the melting process of three main types of Bohemian historical glasses: Gothic (14th–1st half of 16th c.); Renaissance (16th–17th c.); and Baroque (end of 17th–18th c.). The model glasses were prepared from natural raw materials and processes that take place during melting were investigated using optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRD, and DTA-TG methods. Furthermore, the viscosity of model glasses and thermal dilatation was measured and used to calculate the reference viscosity points. The results illustrate the complexity of historical glass melting, as well as the technological progress between different periods.
