The New York firm of Buchholz and Zelt designed vessels that were embellished with glass jewels. By adding jewels to these design drawings, the people creating these works in the Czech Republic could better understand how the designer wanted the final product to look. Explore these designs for yourself at the Rakow Library in our exhibition, “Curious and Curiouser: Surprising Finds from the Rakow Library.”

Like many glassmakers, Frederick Carder wrote his glass recipes down in batch books. Greg Merkel, a local scientist, was able to match those recipes to specific pieces of glass in the Museum’s collection, including this celadon vase. He used XRF scans to identify the chemical makeup of the glass.
