The Collection of Ancient Glass in the Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague: An Overview

Original language description

The collection od ancient Glass in the Museum of Decorative Arts, Prague, took shape over a relatively long period of time. In the present day it has about 400 examples. The first to be listed was a box with 108 fragments of ancient glass, in 1886, while the last specimens made their way to the museum in the 1980s. The largest number of finds is connected with the activities of Vojtěch Freiherr Lanna between years 1886 and 1906. Lanna expanded the collection of ancient glass with at least 180 items and he inspired further collectors to do the same, namely Franz Bock and Eduard Ritter Daubek. Lanna also initiated museum purchases from major European antique dealers such as L. &. L. Hamburger in Frankfurt am Main, Robert Forrer from Stuttgart and Theodor von Graf from Vienna. The collection was supplemented with several vessels donated by Gustav E. Pazaurek in 1932 and a large set of forty vessels and glass pendants was purchased by the museum in 1967 from the heirs of Emanuel Hloupý. The collection comprises glass products from Egypt (a scarab of blue opaque glass), the Hellenistic period is represented by bowls made in moulds and core-formed vessels. The majority of vessels come from the 1st – 4th centuries AD, from the European part of the Roman Empire and from the Eastern Mediterranean. The period from the 5th century until the 7th century is represented by the Byzantine glass from the Eastern Mediterranean and the glass from the Franks region in German territory.
