Venetianske glas fra Vallensgård, Bornholm
No full textGlasses from Vallensgaard By Torben Sode
In 1937 the wings of Bornholms largest farmhouse, Vallensgaard, burned down and in connection with the subsequent rebuilding of the farm the foundations of two older buildings were investigated. This work revealed that the foundations were the remains of the houses built just before 1560 by the former district bailiff Schweder Ketting, a rich merchant and brewer from the Hanseatic town of Lübeck. At the bottom of the foundation of the tower built onto the western wall of the southern building nearly 150 fragments of glass were found. They included 30 window glasses, some still with marks from the lead framing, together with more than 70 shards from at least four pear-shaped bottles, and more than 30 shards of so-called »waldglas«, mostly from vessels known as passglas. The most remarkable findings among the glass from Vallensgaard were the fragments of two filigree glasses in Venetian style. One, a trumpet-shaped foot with the rim folded under, was made of 52 twisted filigree canes made of white and clear glass. The second was a fragmented bowl from a filigree goblet. The bowl was decorated on the lower part with seven white threads alternating with seven twisted filigree canes vertically applied. Over these were two rows of a white filigree cane between two white canes applied horizontally. The two glasses in Venetian style were most probably made in glass workshops in Antwerp or London around 1550 and are in this way examples of very early glass produced à la façon de Venise

Franske forbindelser - sømglattere fra vikingetidens Ribe
No full textNational audienceFra udgravningerne i Ribe findes en række fund af sømglattere fra både vikingetid og middelalder. Sømglattere blev brugt til strygning, glatning og imprægnering af ho-vedsageligt hørlærred og er fremstillet af et rundt stykke massivt glas med konveks overside og nærmest flad bund. Både arkæologiske fund, skriftlige kilder og etnogra-fisk materiale viser, at sømglatteren har været anvendt siden yngre jernalder, op gen-nem middelalder og indtil 1800-tallet. Formen og brugen har således været uændret i mere end 1000 år.Naturvidenskabelige undersøgelser har påvist, at sømglattere fra det karolingi-ske Europa og fra vikingetidens Ribe er fremstillet af enten potaskeglas eller af et bly-silikat kalkglas med et højt indhold af bly, aluminium, jern, barium og antimon. Analyserne viser, at sømglattere fremstillet af dette bly-silikat kalkglas kemisk er iden-tisk med produktionsslagger fra bly- og sølvminen i Melle i det sydlige Frankrig, og at de således er fremstillet af omsmeltede slagger. Sømglattere er dermed med til at un-derbygge vores viden om datidens handelsforbindelser mellem Frankerriget og Ribe
Early Glass Windows in Southern Scandinavia
No full textInternational audienceDuring the excavations of early magnate buildings, Pre-Christian Cult Sites and early trade centre, several fragments from windows glass have been found. Until recently, fragments of window glass from Pre- Christian Sites were most often regarded as modern glass, or as a kind of "pollution" in the excavated fields. Our research and analyses show that windows with glass were used in pagan temples and in the estates of the elite already in the early Viking ages. Although glass windows were not common in Viking Age Scandinavia, our research shows that glass window may have existed in royal estates in the Viking Age in Pre-Christian Cult places and temple buildings. It is interesting that glass window appears in Scandinavia long time before they were believed to exist, and especially in areas where glass windows was not used in buildings until recently. The presence of window glass in early magnate residences, on Pre-Christian cult Sites and at early Viking trade centre seems to draw an interesting pattern. Most probably glass windows in Pre-Christian Scandinavia, were used in the same way as in early Frankish and Anglo-Saxon churches. We present here some results on window glass originating from: - Pre-Christian Cult Sites: Tissø and Strøby Toftegård on Sealand, Sorte Muld on the island of Bornholm, and from Uppåkra in Scania, - as well as Viking Age sites: Haithabu in northern Germany, Kaupang in Norway, and Birka in Sweden, These window glasses were all analysed using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) at the Centre Ernest-Babelon, (CNRS, Orléans, France). Our results show the presence among our corpus of three main type of glass compositions: natron glass, woodash glass and woodash lime glass. If natron glass illustrates the re-use of ancient antique windows, the presence of woodash and woodash lime glass enabled us to put new light on the use of early glass windows in Southern Scandinavia
