Case 1, Shelf 2 Introduction

American & British Blown Glass, 18th & 19th Centuries

Since the 10th century, Venice, Italy, has been a major center of glassmaking innovation. Venetian glassmakers most commonly worked in blown glass, in which molten glass is attached to a metal tube through which the glassmaker blows air, expanding the mass into a hollow vessel.

By the 13th century, Venetian glassworkers were famed throughout Europe for their varied and advanced techniques. Following an influx of Eastern Mediterranean glassworkers, enameled works such as the goblet (4) with the wide band of gold quatrefoils were introduced in the late 13th century. From the 14th through the 17th centuries, many European glassmakers attempted to work à la façon de Venise (“in the Venetian manner”), as seen in the Dutch drinking horn (5) and the Spanish bottle (1), while other regions developed distinct forms, such as the Germanic blown beaker (6) and roemer (7) with applied decoration. One of the most complicated Venetian glassmaking methods, vetro a retori, incorporates intricate patterns of delicate strands of colored glass within clear glass, as seen in 18th-century British examples of the second shelf (13–15).
