Before moving to Hartford City, he had been superintendent of the largest window glass factory in New York, and founded a window glass works in Kokomo, Indiana. Henry Crimmel (1844–1917) provided the glassmaking expertise for Hartford City's Sneath Glass Company. Crimmel had about "half a century" of glassmaking experience, and helped start the Sneath Glass Company and several glass companies in Ohio.

Beer boots (Bierstiefel in German) have over a century of history and culture behind them. It is commonly believed that a general somewhere promised his troops to drink beer from his boot if they were successful in battle. When the troops prevailed, the general had a glassmaker fashion a boot from glass to fulfill his promise without tasting his own feet and to avoid spoiling the beer in his leather boot. Since then, soldiers have enjoyed toasting to their victories with a beer boot.

Nicolás de Vergara el Mozo (1540 - December 11, 1606), was a Spanish sculptor, architect, blacksmith and glassmaker. He worked in the Toledo Cathedral, where he was master of works, and in other religious and civil buildings. He was the son of the architect and sculptor Nicolás de Vergara el Viejo and Catalina de Colonia, and brother of Juan de Vergara. He was also the nephew of the master glassmakers Arnao de Vergara and Arnao de Flandes and grandson of Arnao of Flanders the Elder.

Henry William Stiegel (May 13, 1729 in Cologne, Germany - January 10, 1785 in Pennsylvania, USA) was a German-American glassmaker and ironmaster. Stiegel was the eldest of six children born to John Frederick and Dorothea Elizabeth Stiegel in the Free Imperial City of Cologne. He immigrated to British North America in 1750 with his mother and younger brother, Anthony (his father and other siblings had died). The Stiegels sailed on a ship known as the Nancy, and arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on August 31, 1750.

A musical about Robertson's life by Kyle Jarrow and Bright Lights, Big City composer Paul Scott Goodman tentatively titled Reek Roon is currently under development, reportedly commissioned by Fela! producer Steve Hendel. In 2016, in memory of Robertson's significant influence as a storyteller, the Grampian Association of Storytellers commissioned the 'Stanley Robertson Award for Traditional Storytelling' to be given out at the Aberdeen Traditional Music and Song Association's yearly competitions. The trophy was created by glassmaker Shelagh Swanson and its first winner was Jane Chalmers.

Claus Riedel was born in Polaun, now part of Kořenov, Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic), to Walter Riedel, a glassmaker, and Claudia Prollius Riedel. Claus Riedel was drafted by the German Army in World War II, where he fought Italian partisans in Tuscany and Liguria. In March 1945 he was captured by American forces and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp near Pisa, Italy for ten months. In January 1946, while being returned to Germany for repatriation, Riedel escaped by jumping from a train entering Austria.

Flint glass, commonly known as "crystal",Flint glass consists of three parts of silica, two parts of red oxide of lead, one part of potassium carbonate, and trace amounts of arsenic, manganese, and niter. was made in closed pots to protect the glass from impurities (unlike green glass), and generally the flint glass workforce was more highly skilled. The AFGWU formed in Pittsburgh in 1878, and within four short years had locals throughout West Virginia and Ohio and was spreading east.Skrabec, Edward Drummond Libbey, American Glassmaker, p. 42.

La Rochere is the oldest continuously working glass factory in Europe located in the forests of the Lorraine and Franche-Comté regions that provided firewood for furnaces and ferns, the ashes of which made the potash necessary for the glass fusion. La Rochere In 1475 the founder Simon de Thysac, "Gentleman glassmaker", obtained permission to manufacture glasses at the "Rochiers", this is preserved in the National Archive in France. The production site is opened and the "hand made" manufacture of crystal glasses is shown and explained to visitors.

For many years it was thought that Joseph Williamson was born in Warrington, Lancashire. However, research by staff and volunteers of the Williamson Tunnels Heritage Centre has shown that he was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire and that his father was a glassmaker in a small village near Barnsley. At an early age, his family moved to Warrington. In 1780, when he was aged 11, he left his family and went to Liverpool where he was employed in the tobacco and snuff business of Richard Tate.

Riedel in Helsinki in 2019 Maximilian Josef Riedel (born September 13, 1977) is an Austrian glassmaker and businessman. Born in Vienna, he is the 11th- generation CEO and President of Riedel, a glassware manufacturer established in 1756 and best known for its production of grape variety-specific glassware. Riedel is best known for designing the world's first variety-specific stemless wine glasses (the Riedel “O” Series) in 2004, expanding the company to international markets, and developing double-decanting technology which achieves hours of decanting in a matter of minutes.

1965 Per Lütken was a Danish glassmaker (1916–1998), most famous for his works at Holmegaard Glass Factory ("Holmegaard Glasværk" in Danish).Holmegaard Glass Company Lütken has set his signature on the history of Danish glassmaking, designing more than 3,000 pieces of glass for Holmegaard, a company for whom he worked from 1942 and until his death in 1998. Amongst the best known series created by him are "Ideelle", "Skibsglas", "No. 5", "Selandia" and "Charlotte Amalie", all of which are still selling at high prices throughout the world.

Trisana Chandler (Tris) – Tris is an accomplished weather mage. Held apart by her spectacular range and strength of power, she only wants to fit in. Her strong sense of right and wrong is sorely put to the test in this book, when she is faced with the choice of turning a serial killer (of whom she was the next intended victim) in to the law, or killing him herself. Kethlun Warder (Keth) – Keth was one of the best glassmakers of his generation, a nephew and rumoured heir to the Namorness Imperial Glassmaker.

Borosilicate glass was first developed by German glassmaker Otto Schott in the late 19th century in Jena. This early borosilicate glass thus came to be known as Jena glass. After Corning Glass Works introduced Pyrex in 1915, the name became synonymous for borosilicate glass in the English-speaking world (in reality, a sizable portion of glass produced under the Pyrex brand has also been made of soda-lime glass since the 1940s). Borosilicate glass is the name of a glass family with various members tailored to completely different purposes.

As early as 1727, British-appointed notaries sympathetic to American independence, began administering "Oaths of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," in which individuals renounced their loyalty to Britain. These oaths were documents signed by groups of individuals, in the style of a petition, or were personally written or distributed in a pre-printed form that could be signed, witnessed and sealed. The first official notary law was enacted in Pennsylvania in 1791. Isaac Craig, a Pittsburgh glassmaker, was the first notary to be appointed under the new, independent state constitution.

Gudenrath, 65–66; Osborne, 401 Even smaller perfume or snuff bottles with stoppers were also being made in China itself, where they represented a cheaper alternative to materials such as jade.Osborne, 335–336 A distinct style that originated with the glassmaker Johann Schaper of Nuremberg in Germany around 1650 was the schwarzlot style, using only black enamel on clear or sometimes white milk glass. This was a relatively linear style, with images often drawing on contemporary printmaking. Schaper himself was the best artist to use it, specializing in landscapes and architectural subjects.

German "Beer boot" Boot- and shoe-shaped drinking vessels have been found at archaeological sites dating back to the bronze-age Urnfield cultures. Modern beer boots (or ') have over a century of history and culture behind them. It is commonly believed that a general somewhere promised his troops to drink beer from his boot if they were successful in battle. When the troops prevailed, the general had a glassmaker fashion a boot from glass to fulfill his promise without tasting his own feet and to avoid spoiling the beer in his leather boot.

Giovanni Ricordi, 1875—1853, founder of Casa Ricordi Giovanni Ricordi (1785 – 15 March 1853) was an Italian violinist and the founder of the classical music publishing company Casa Ricordi, described by musicologist Philip Gossett as "a genius and positive force in the history of Italian opera".Gossett 1996, p. 97 Ricordi was born in Milan in 1785 to Gianbatista Ricordi, who was a glassmaker, and Angiola de Medici. Ricordi studied the violin from an early age and, for a short time, became the concertmaster and conductor of the small puppet theatre Fiando.

Thomas Webb (1804–1869) was an English glassmaker and the founder of Thomas Webb & Sons, makers of fine English glass and crystal. Webb entered the glass industry in 1829 when he became a partner in the Wordsley glassworks of Webb and Richardsons. Webb entered into business with his father, John Webb in 1833 at the White House glassworks prior to founding the company known as "Thomas Webb & Sons" in 1837. Webb moved to the Platts, Amblecote in 1840, then relocated to the Dennis Hall site, near the town of Stourbridge, England in 1855.

Antonio Seguso (b. 1888), the son of Giovanni, was also a talented glassmaker and along with Napoleone Barovier and Luigi Ferro, founded Artistica Vetreria e Soffieria Barovier, Seguso and Ferro in 1933, this company would eventually become Seguso Vetri d’Arte, employing all five sons of Antonio Seguso in various roles, including Archimede Seguso for a period of time, the father of Giampaolo Seguso, and grandfather to the current generation guiding the Seguso company today, Gianluca, Pierpaolo and Gianandrea Seguso.Heiremans, Marc (2014) Seguso Vetri d’Arte Glass Objects from Murano (1932-1973).

He was the son of the glassmaker Johann Albert Adolph Becker (1811–1891) and Johanna Wilhelmine Christiane nee Kumst (1824–1888). He studied art history at Bonn University and Leipzig University, acted as assistant to August Schmarsow and gained his doctorate in 1897 with a thesis on Early Netherlandish painting. He travelled widely before settling in Leipzig as a private scholar - there he and Ulrich Thieme edited the first four volumes of the Allgemeinen Lexikons der bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart until he resigned in 1910 due to ill health.

Georg Josef Riedel (born December 16, 1949) is an Austrian glassmaker and businessman. He is the 10th-generation owner of Riedel (glass manufacturer) established in 1756 and best known for its production of grape variety- specific glassware designed to enhance types of wines based on specific properties of individual grape varieties. Georg Riedel joined the family business in 1973 serving as accountant, before rising to co-CEO of Riedel Crystal alongside his father, Professor Claus Josef Riedel, from 1987 until 1994. He served as Chief Executive Officer from 1994 until 2013.

Signature under the birth certificate of his son Jan, Leiderdorp, 22 November 1833. Two years after the completion of his training, Jan Gaykema got married in Haarlem on 24 January 1821, to Maria Elisabeth van Zutphen, one of the daughters of a master house painter and glassmaker on the Lange Begijnestraat near the Grote or Bavokerk. After marriage, Jan and his wife settled in the city of Leiden. Maria Elisabeth would, in a period of twenty years, give birth to fourteen children, of which eight would reach maturity.

Moser glassmaker in 2011 Glasses by Moser Ludwig Moser developed a lead-free sodium-potassium glass that is more ecologically friendly than lead glass yet is extremely hard; it remains the basis of their products. Moser still produces some of its classic Fipop designs. A factory museum shows the 150-year story of the company in more than 2,000 pieces on display supplemented by documentaries and audio guides. Besides having four retail outlets in the Czech Republic, two in Prague and two in the company's hometown Karlovy Vary, Moser has a worldwide network of retailers.

An epitaph on the north wall of the cathedral indicates in old French: CI DEVANT GIST MAISTRE HARMAN LI VALRIER DE MUNSTERE AN WAILTEFALLE, ET FIST LE GRANT OZ DE CEANS, QUI MORUT LE JOR DE LA NOSTRE DAME EN MARS M.CCC.IIIIXX et XII.Here, lies the master glassmaker Hermann, from Münster in Westphalia, who made the great rose window there, and died the day of Our Lady, in March 1392. The only information known about Herman von Münster concerns of the cathedral of Metz, in particular the large western window of the nave of Metz.

The façade of the Crystal Palace, one of the first buildings to use glass as the main material for construction. The use of glass as a building material was heralded by The Crystal Palace of 1851, built by Joseph Paxton to house the Great Exhibition. Paxton's revolutionary new building inspired the public use of glass as a material for domestic and horticultural architecture. In 1832, the British Crown Glass Company (later Chance Brothers) became the first company to adopt the cylinder method to produce sheet glass with the expertise of Georges Bontemps, a famous French glassmaker.

Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press , In 1832, it made the first British cylinder blown sheet glass using French and Belgian workers. In 1839, a new process to grind the surfaces of plate glass was patented by James Timmins Chance. In 1848 under the supervision of Georges Bontemps, a French glassmaker from Choisy-le-Roi, who had purchased the secret of the stirrer after the deaths of Pierre Louis Guinand and Joseph von Fraunhofer, the pioneers of the manufacture of high-precision lenses for observatory telescopes,King, Henry C. & Jones, Harold Spencer (2003) The History of the Telescope; p. 176.

Murano by Angelo Barovier The name Barovier comes from the word berroviere, which indicates the armiger guarding the captain of the people. It is likely that a Barovier, originally from Treviso, settled in Murano around the 1291, when a law of Republic required all glassworkers to live on the island. The oldest representative of the family of which we know is Jacobello (born around 1295), whose sons Anthony and Bartholomew are mentioned in documents of 1348 as fiolari (glassmakers). A son of Bartholomew, James, remembered as a master glassmaker and a furnace owner, was the father of Barovier.

José Gregório (died 1961) was a Portuguese glassmaker in Marinha Grande, a center of the glass industry in the country, a trade unionist and a member of the Portuguese Communist Party. He became notable for being one of the leaders of a major riot in his hometown against the dictatorial regime in 1934. During the 1930s, the Party was the major force in the resistance against the dictatorial regime led by António de Oliveira Salazar. After the approval by the government of a law forbidding the free trade unions, several strikes and riots began all over the country.

Although most of the rest of Glenside is residential, there are offices related to mining, veterinary health, primary industries and health services along Flemington and Conyngham Streets and a variety of food and service businesses along Greenhill Road. There are several parks in Glenside as well as the Conyngham Street Dog Park for dog exercise. Symons & Symons reserve, named for a well-known glassmaker who lived and worked in the area in the mid 1900s, is located on the corner of Conyngham and Cator Street. Plane Tree Reserve is located on Cedar Crescent and Plane Tree Avenue.

Crossing the lobby decorated in neo- Byzantine style with columns and mosaics, customers reach the atrium which serves as the bank main branch, with counters for their banking transactions. The atrium is surmounted by a glass roof decorated with geometric and floral motifs, which lets in the daylight. The floor is constructed of tiles made by noted French glassmaker Saint-Gobain, which allow this natural overhead lighting to penetrate down to the vaults in the lower ground floor, where the safes and securities depository are to be found. Édouard Didron created the windows, and the silverware manufacturer Christofle made the outdoor lanterns.

Wyck's earliest owner was Hans Millan (also spelled Milan), a Quaker who came from Germany by 1689, and was a descendant of a Swiss Mennonite family. His daughter, Margaret, married a Dutch Quaker named Dirck Jansen, who prospered as a linen weaver in the first half of the 18th century. By the time of his death, he was listed as a gentleman and had Anglicized his name to Dirk Johnson. Their daughter, Catherine, married Caspar Wistar, a German who became a Quaker and amassed a sizable fortune as a button maker, glassmaker and investor in land.

She was a glassmaker, assistant to the Mayor of Oyonnax and a Trotskyist. Her house was the improvised hub of the Resistance in Jura; from this hub, newspapers were reproduced, Moirod found shelters and caches for the combatants and weapons in the mountains and she helped transport the guerrillas there. With her brother- in-law, Gabriel Jeanjacquot, Moirod helped to disseminate the journal, Bir- Hakeim, by journalist André Jacquelin. In March 1953, she was elected mayor of Oyonnax, but remained in that position for just two months as elections were held on 26 April and 3 May 1953.

Bowes Museum The Bowes Museum has a nationally renowned art collection and is situated in the town of Barnard Castle, Teesdale, County Durham, England. The museum contains paintings by El Greco, Francisco Goya, Canaletto, Jean-Honoré Fragonard and François Boucher, together with a sizable collection of decorative art, ceramics, textiles, tapestries, clocks and costumes, as well as older items from local history. The early works of French glassmaker Émile Gallé were commissioned by Joséphine, wife of the founder John Bowes. A great attraction is the 18th-century Silver Swan automaton, which periodically preens itself, looks round and appears to catch and swallow a fish.

Born in Avéron-Bergelle, département of Gers, to gentleman glassmaker Pierre- Paul Granier de Cassagnac (1771-) and Ursule (1775-1850; née Lissagaray), from 1818 to 1828 he lived with the family of his mother's brother, Laurent Prosper Lissagaray, whose son was the journalist Prosper-Olivier Lissagaray.Paul de Cassagnac and the authoritarian tradition in nineteenth-century France, Karen M. Offen, Garland Publishing, 1991, p. 12Lissagaray, la plume et l'épée, René Bidouze, Les Éditions Ouvrières, 1991, pp. 14-5 He began his career as a Parisian journalist in 1832, contributing defences of Romanticism and Conservatism to the Revue de Paris, the Journal des Débats, and to La Presse.

Danish glassmaker Per Lütken worked at Holmegaard from 1942 until his death in 1998, creating some of the factory's finest pieces and all-time classics, such as the "Idelle" series, the "Ships glasses" and the "Provence" bowls. The work of Per Lütken is still highly rated, especially throughout Scandinavia, and in Denmark and Sweden in particular. The arrival of Lütken at Holmegaard marked a new beginning in the history of the factory, which once again bloomed after several years of suffering. His aesthetic creations, in timeless designs, appealed to the fashion of the 1960s Denmark, and his creations became a great success throughout the decade and the 1970s.

Whimsey glass, also known as "whimsy", "whimsies", "wimsy" and "wimsies", and also as friggers or end-of-days (as they were often made at the end of the work day) is work that is created for no useful purpose, so named as it was made on a whim, or whimsey, of the glassmaker. The name may also refer to the fanciful or whimsical style of much of this sort of work. Glassmakers would make whimsies on their breaks or at the end of the day with any extra molten glass left in the pot. They would often bring the objects home to their families.

In 1971, the Kantušers left Fontainebleau and returned to Paris, living first in the Bastille quarter, then Rue de Rome. In 1972, Renzi had a solo exhibition at the American Center, in Paris, and in 1972 and 1973, she projected stained glass windows for the Monpazier chapel, in the southwest of France.The stained glass windows were made in cooperation with the master glassmaker Louis Franchéo with which Renzi worked again in 1976 for stained glass windows in Moissac. In the 1960s, in Fontainebleau, Renzi had already been in talks about church stained glass windows, a project for which she had been recommended by François Mathey.

Once painted, the enamelled glass vessel needs to be fired at a temperature high enough to melt the applied powder, but low enough that the vessel itself is only "softened" sufficiently to fuse the enamel with the glass surface, but not enough to deform or melt the original shape (unless this is desired, as it may be). The binding and demarcating substances burn away.Ward, 57–59; Carboni, 203; Gudenrath, 23–27, and throughout, has very full details of manufacturing processes. Until recent centuries the enamel firing was done holding the vessel in a furnace on a pontil (long iron rod), with the glassmaker paying careful attention to any changes in the shape.

The Charente-Maritime, by Louis Maurin and Dominique Tardy, archaeologocal pre-inventory, page 105 A new sanctuary was built to the design of the architect Gustave Alaux who had already worked on the construction of several churches in the Bordeaux region including the church of Mortagne-sur-Gironde a few kilometres from the commune. This building was in the Gothic Revival style and incorporated a Latin cross plan consisting of a single nave with three bays, with a ribbed vault lit by six large lancet windows decorated with stained glass executed by the master glassmaker E. Lagrange. Six stone buttresses support the nave. A transept and apse frame the shrine which was consecrated in 1879.

Mabel Cañada was born in the Santutxu neighborhood of Bilbao in 1952. Daughter of Ángel, a Burgos glassmaker and Isabel, a Balmasedana who dropped out of nursing to care for her father, is the second of five sisters and two brothers. Mother of 4 people, active in groups such as the Conscientious Objection Movement (MOC), the feminist movement, and groups against large infrastructures such as nuclear power plants or the Itoiz reservoir in Navarra. She was one of the founders of the community of Lakabe (Navarra) in 1980, an abandoned town that was squatted and recovered, in which coexistence is based on self-management, self- sufficiency, self-consumption, mutual support, and assembly operation.

Claus Josef Riedel (19 February 1925 – 17 March 2004) was an Austrian glassmaker, businessman, professor of chemistry, and chemical engineer. He was the 9th-generation owner of Riedel Crystal, an Austrian glassware manufacturer that was established in 1756. Riedel is best known for creating and producing grape variety-specific glassware designed to enhance types of wines based on specific properties of individual grape varieties. He was among the first glassware experts in history to recognize that the taste of wine is affected by the shape of the glass from which it is consumed, and is credited with first discovering the concept of variety-specificity in glassware, developing variety-specific glassware shapes and bringing these glasses to the consumer market.

81 Following James' retirement William left to run the Pittsburg operation in 1856 and the Baltimore factory renamed to the Edwin Bennett Pottery.Beem and Beem, 2012 The first pitched battle of the American Civil War happened right in front of his business on April 19, 1861 and Edwin moved with his wife and children to Philadelphia, where in the next year or two he entered into a partnership with his friend the glassmaker William Gillinder, with Bennett contributing some new tableware designs.Beem and Beem, 2012 In 1867, the year he sold his interests to Gillinder and his sons, it was the largest glass factory within the city limits.Beem and Beem, 2012; Museum of American Glass at Wheaton Arts Gillinder's son James also married Bennett's daughter Martha.

Also included were the first non-English settlers. The company recruited these as skilled craftsmen and industry specialists: soap-ash, glass, lumber milling (wainscot, clapboard, and 'deal' — planks, especially soft wood planks) and naval stores (pitch, turpentine, and tar). Among these additional settlers were eight "Dutch-men" (consisting of unnamed craftsmen and three who were probably the wood-mill-men — Adam, Franz and Samuel) "Dutch-men" (probably meaning German or German-speakers), Polish and Slovak craftsmen, who had been hired by the Virginia Company of London's leaders to help develop and manufacture profitable export products. There has been debate about the nationality of the specific craftsmen, and both the Germans and Poles claim the glassmaker for one of their own, but the evidence is insufficient.

Theophilus recommends the use of beech logs, which analysis has shown has a high proportion of CaO when grown on calcareous soil. Whatever wood is used, the amount of potash and CaO it provides, as well as other components that might affect colour and opacity, varies considerably with the age and part of the tree, soil chemistry, climate, the time of year when the tree was cut and the dryness of the wood when burned, factors over which the glassmaker had little control. This variability explains the problems that glassmakers had in trying to produce glass of a consistent quality. Large amounts of ash would have to be prepared and mixed together to give the homogeneity needed to give a predictable glass composition.

Paul Mignot (born October 19, 1980) is a French film director and producer. He graduated in 2002 from the Institut International de l'Image et du Son. Although Paul Mignot is the son of a picture-framer and the grandson of a master glassmaker, he quickly moved towards working with the camera in feature film (36, Quai des Orfèvres, Les Fils du Vent...) before moving fully into directing commercials in 2005. His career has seen him work with such prestigious brands as Nintendo, Salvatore Ferragamo, the Bolloré group and Emporio Armani ... as well as collaborate with Nicole Kidman, Alexandra Lamy, Line Renaud, Michèle Laroque and Didier Drogba, amongst others... Working increasingly abroad, he has moved towards an impressionistic and humanist cinema.

John Sturge Stephens was born on 26 June 1891 at Ashfield in Budock, just outside Falmouth, Cornwall. Ashfield was the Stephens’ family home. He was the son of John Gilbert Stephens and Isabel (née Sturge). His father was a rope manufacturer, as had been several generations of the Stephens family, all staunch Quakers. There is a large Stephens’ family archive at Cornwall Record Office, about half of which consists of the correspondence and papers of John Sturge Stephens. Amongst these papers is a tribute by Philip Styles, who wrote: > John Stephens numbered among his antecedents and connections William > Stephens (glassmaker), well known to collectors as a painter of Bristol > China in George III’s time; and, on his mother’s, Samuel Prideaux Tregelles, > the Biblical scholar, and the Birmingham Quaker philanthropist, Joseph > Sturge.

The 4th-century Lycurgus Cup, a 4th-century Roman glass cage cup made of a dichroic glass The origins of cranberry glass making are unknown, but many historians believe a form of this glass was first made in the late Roman Empire. This is evidenced by the British Museum's collection Lycurgus Cup, a 4th-century Roman glass cage cup made of a dichroic glass, which shows a different colour depending on whether light is passing through it or reflecting from it; red (gold salts) when lit from behind and green (silver salts) when lit from in front. The craft was then lost and rediscovered in the 17th century Bohemian period by either Johann Kunckel in Potsdam or by the Florentine glassmaker Antonio Neri. Neither of them knew the mechanism which yielded the colour, however.

In 1669, in Amsterdam, a literary discussion on the subject of theatre led to the creation of a new artistic society, named '. Until then, the Amsterdam scene had been in the grip of glassmaker (vitrier) and writer Jan Vos (1610/1611-1667), who among other points expressed with the adage ' (« La vision précède la parole », (seeing precedes speaking)) the idea that visual elements were more expressive than words. Vos was able to give himself over completely to his predilection for the visual thanks to his contacts in the Amsterdam government, who commissioned the stained-glass windows of the new Paleis op de Dam in 1655, as well as the large open-air living sculptures organized to greet important visitors. He also conceived ballets and theatrical productions, both his own and by other authors.

As a glassmaker, Riedel was interested primarily in function over appearance, and broke away from the traditional richly cut, heavy and thick glass designs of the time. He spent 16 years studying the physics of wine delivery to the mouth and taste buds and experimenting with different glass configurations, matching them with wines of different regions, grape origin and age to create stemware that would match and complement specific wines and spirits. He was among the first glassware experts in history to recognize that the taste of wine is affected by the shape of the glass from which it is consumed. From these experiments, Riedel created the Burgundy Grand Cru glass in 1958, made to enhance the flavors and aromas of the Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo grape variety, specifically for Burgundy, Barolo, and Barbaresco wines.

During this period, the regency was prosperous. About 1725, the crown prince or his mother set up a small smelter and a steel mill in the Murg commons of the Rotenfels area. This experiment proceeded for about 20 years as the smelter and mill failed and changed hands a number of times until Rastatt glassmaker Franz Anton Dürr came and took over the facilities in 1753. Anton Rindeschwender, founder of the Rindeschwender Glassworks in Gaggenau The smelter and steel mill suffered primarily for two reasons: 1) A lack of an adequate supply of timber-fuel (the smelter required some 4,000 cords of wood each year to sustain its efforts, a demand which deforested the forest area around Rotenfels over the first two decades) and, perhaps more importantly, 2) A lack of a local supply of iron ore.

A student at the École des Beaux-Arts de Paris in William Bouguereau's atelier, Alfred-Henri Bramtot won the Prix de Rome for painting in 1879 with La Mort de Démosthène. After his stay in Rome at Villa Medicis, he began a career as a painter and decorator. After competing unsuccessfully for the scenery of the town hall of Arcueil, he participated in the decoration of the council chamber of the town hall of Les Lilas in 1889 on the theme of the universal suffrage (See here) In 1893, he provided the cartoon to glassmaker master Félix Gaudin for the St. Catherine stained glass due to adorn one of the windows of the Sainte-Catherine church in Lille. He regularly exhibited at the Salon: he obtained a third class medal in 1876 and was out of competition after 1885.

His father, , was a Master glassmaker who was also a politician; serving as a member of Parliament from 1821 to 1837, and the Chamber of Peers after that.Dictionnaire des parlementaires français de 1789 à 1889, edited by Adolphe Robert and Gaston Cougny, Bourloton Online His brother, , briefly served as Minister of the Interior under Napoleon III. He studied art with Prosper Marilhat and François-Édouard Picot, but was especially influenced by the landscape painter, Louis-Nicolas Cabat, whom he accompanied on a trip to Italy from 1836 to 1837, following his first exhibit at the Salon. They became lifelong friends.Émile Bellier de La Chavignerie, General Dictionary of French School Artists from the beginning of the drawing arts to the present day: architects, painters, sculptors, engravers and lithographers, Library Renouard, 1881 Online He would continue to travel throughout his life; notably visiting Constantine, Algeria, in 1847.

It appears da Salò immediately rented a house and set up shop in the neighborhood hub of musical life, the Contrada Antegnati, known for the presence of a very famous dynasty of organ builders, and other skilled multi- instrumentalists, who were granted a professional patent by the Brescia City Council in 1528, the first known example of such in Europe. These instrument makers were located in the Second Quadra St. John, in front of the Palazzo Vecchio del Podestà (now Via Cairoli). From his ability almost immediately to rent a house with a shop in this sought-after neighborhood, and considering the unlikelihood of a substantial inheritance, as well as the conspicuously large family of brothers and sisters whom he helped to support financially, we can surmise that da Salò was enjoying some measure of success in the family's traditional string making trade. His business was successful enough to allow him to marry Isabetta Cassetti, the daughter of an artisan potter and glassmaker three years later.

Afterwards she teaches drawing at the Industrial School of Marinha Grande, a city known for its glass manufacture located in a region called Pinhal de Leiria in the centre of the country and where she lived from 1944 to 1945. This School was located within the area of the ancient Fábrica Nacional dos Vidros (National Glass Factory), the largest glass factory of the country and later on named Fábrica-Escola Irmãos Stephens (Stephens Brothers Factory School), founded in 1769 by William Stephens (glassmaker), and where today is the Museu do Vidro (Glass Museum). Besides of her activity as a teacher trying to implement some pedagogical methods by the art, she has direct contacts with the working reality and draws a series of drafts, “Meninos operários” (Child workers), a lot of them on packing paper. In this series she pictures the gestures and tired faces of the children wrinkled by dehydration working in the glass factories. In 1952 she finishes her Painting course with a thesis (an oil painting of large dimensions) called “Vidreiros” (glass makers), based on the experience of Marinha Grande and which can be found at the Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa (University of Lisbon).
