These were also sent as diplomatic gifts. Sometimes they were commissioned by the royal family and wealthy upper classes. Among the glass items sent to France, the ones enamelled with the coat of arms of the queen of France, Anne de Bretagne (1499-1514), stand out, as for those shipped to England, the white opaque glas<em>s<\/em> vase with the portrait of the king Henry VII and his device, is among the few rare enamelled lattimo vessels of the early 16<sup>th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n<p>Archive documents and inventories attest the presence of different types and techniques of Venetian glass items sent to these countries, including some that were designed following the taste and shapes much in fashion in France and England.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half of the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century, in London, glass items <em>\u00e0 la fa\u00e7on de Venise<\/em> began to be in production, also in virtue of the arrival of Murano glassmakers notably of Jacopo Verzelini. Later, England developed its own specific glass industry due also to the work of George Ravenscroft and his lead &#8211; crystal glass.<\/p>\n<p>In the 16<sup>th<\/sup> and 17<sup>th<\/sup> centuries Venetian glass influenced the production of French glassmakers who developed their own style and production of artefacts, including several particular enamelled glass vessels which were also exported to some European countries, such as England.<\/p>\n<p>The topics that will be touched upon will include:<\/p>\n<p>General overview of the history and art history of glass with a focus on Venetian, English and French glass vessels; raw materials and casting\/processing techniques; Archaeometry; Conservation and Restoration; discussion about individual pieces in museum collections; archaeological finds; recovery techniques and ancient models during the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme of the 2024 Study Days <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.istitutoveneto.it\/flex\/cm\/pages\/ServeBLOB.php\/L\/IT\/IDPagina\/2036<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Study Days on Venetian Glass, Venetian Glass in France and England Venice, Italy, September 16-18, 2025 Organised with the collaboration of: AIHV- Association Internationale pour l\u2019Histoire du Verre&#8211; Comitato Nazionale Italiano Museo del Vetro-Fondazione Musei Civici Venezia The \u201cStudy Days on Venetian Glass\u201d are an opportunity for the in-depth study of Venetian glass and are [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":2693,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[522,85,370,347],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[323,396,321,359],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2637"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2643,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2637\/revisions\/2643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2637"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glass.mini.icom.museum\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
