Abstract

The article explores the significant changes of glass art and technology in line with the exhibition "Glass of the Alchemists: Lead Crystal--Gold Ruby, 1650-1750," presented at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York in June 2008. It relates the decline in art historical contributions on baroque glass. Information is presented on the Venetian "cristallo" which became the benchmark for all European high-quality glasswares.
