A lost fragment of a cage cup discovered by a lucky coincidence in Prague
Original language description
The paper first of all tried to explain the path of a fragment of one of the rarest ancient vessels - a diatret (cage cup): in 1820 it was in the Bartholdy collection and in 2020 it was discovered by a lucky chance in the National Museum in Prague. Information about Bartholdy's glass collection after his death in 1825 is unknown. It is highly probable that a part of it, including the diatrette, was acquired only after 1860 by Vojtěch Lanna and a fraction was probably lent or donated for the archaeology exhibition opened in 1867 at the National Museum. After that year, the fate of the diatrette fragment was again unknown for more than a century and a half. The bowl-shaped vessel - presumably a lamp - was, according to the analysis of its chemical composition, made of natron glass - the body of colourless glass, the net of blue glass coloured with cobalt. The working traces show the laborious removal of the upper blue layer to form a net. Vessels of this type were produced in the Roman Empire in the second half of the 3rd to 4th century AD. Seventy examples are known - twenty relatively complete vessels, the rest are documented in fragments.
