2 Cups Mugs & 1 Saucer
? Material: Glass.
? Approximate Size: 2.5 inches tall X 3 inches across. Saucer 6".
? Brand/Maker: Unknown.
? Color: Red glass was long sought by
European alchemists and glass-makers, who believed it had curative properties.
A Hamburg physician, Andreas Cassius, in 1676 reported his discovery
of the red coloring properties of a solution of gold chloride,
subsequently called purple of Cassius.
Ruby glass was produced c. 1679 by a Potsdam chemist and glass technologist named Johann Kunckel von Löwenstern, who kept the recipe a secret.
The difficulty in producing this color lay in the fact that the glass at first appears gray and turns red only on reheating.
This secret was rediscovered in the glass-works at Ehrenfeld at the end of the 19th century. Meanwhile, Bohemian glass-makers produced a ruby shade using copper,
and glassware flashed with a thin ruby-glass casing became a characteristic
19th-century Bohemian product.
