A Lost Fragment of a Cage Cup Discovered in Prague by a Lucky Coincidence

Original language description

Cage cups are among the masterpieces of antiquity, which is why even their fragments are highly esteemed today. A fragment of a diatretum with a dark -blue glass net was discovered in 2020 in the depository of the Nirodni Muzeum in Prague by a lucky coincidence by one of the authors. Incredibly, it is the very fragment Constanze Hopken wrote about in the 2018 Journal of Glass Studies, its whereabouts at that time being unknown. By comparing it with a drawing from 1820, the authors verified that it is in the same condition as two hundred years ago and completely intact. In this follow-up to Hopken&apos;s article, we try to reconstruct the cup&apos;s journey through history and to find possible analogies. Non-destructive scientific analyses confirm the use of natron glass, produced during the Roman imperial period, and they also yielded further interesting discoveries with regard to the blue colorant used.
