Potash - a key raw material of glass batch for Bohemian glasses from 14th-17th centuries?
Original language description
The aim of this work is to verify or refute hypothesis of existence of basic/universal glass batch: quartz sand : potash : limestone, at a ratio of 2 : 1 : 1 used in Bohemian glass production since the middle ages onwards and to simulate the preparationof a potassium glass type with the composition used in medieval Bohemia. The chemical composition of Bohemian glass, which incorporated in the proposed glass batch for glassmaking on a laboratory scale, was evaluated by (a) findings directly related to glassmaking (samples from glasswork in Moldava dating back to the 15th century) and (b) information from publications. Experimentally produced glasses for the present paper were prepared from raw materials such as ash, leached ash, potash, limestone and quartz sand. The plant raw materials (spruce, beech and bracken ashes, raw and refined potash) were treated and prepared by methods similar to the production procedures used in the pre-industrial era. The main contrast was found in the CaO
