A Blaschka Glasss Model of an Octopus from the National Museum in Prague

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

A glass model of an octopus, donated to the National Museum in Prague by Leopold Blaschka in 1884, was recently damaged. Examination and analysis preceding conservation treatment enabled the authors to identify certain materials and techniques used to create the model. The production process is described in detail, followed by brief information about conservation. The octopus was assembled from blown glass parts coated inside and attached to an inner wire construction. The space between the glass and the wires was padded with cotton and paper, subsequently penetrated with sodium silicate. The thin skin between the octopus’s arms and connecting the arms to the head was shaped from a proteinaceous substance made of cotton soaked in pigmented plasticized gelatin. The surface of the model was painted and finally coated with nitrocellulose varnish. Conservation and restoration involved the consolidation of fractured glass and cotton stiffened with plasticized gelatin, as well as the filling and reconstruction of suckers, arm ends, and parts of the head.
