Early Modern Glass Production at the Manor of Reichenau am Freiwald, Lower Austria
This public... more Early Modern Glass Production at the Manor of Reichenau am Freiwald, Lower Austria
This publication draws together all available sources about glass production in the 16th and 17th Centuries in the manor of Reichenau am Freiwald (Lower Austria). The focus is on the results of the archaeological research, which are significantly complemented by the descriptions and illustrations contained in the “Topographia Windhagiana”.
The glassworks Frauenwies, Schönfelderhof, Brennerhof and Reichenau I were in use up to 1599 and 1601 respectively and were succeeded by the glassworks Reichenau II, which continued until 1686. The technical structure of the glassworks and their furnaces can be partly reconstructed in some areas despite the limited archaeological results. A high level of technology, influenced not only by Italian glassmaking, but also showing further development towards the “Bohemian furnace”, is shown not only by the detailed views in the “Topographia Windhagiana”, but also from the construction of the works on stone foundations and the use of standardized furnace stones.
The crucible finds, together with other finds in the Mühlviertel and Waldviertel districts have made a typology of this, to glassworks specific, finds category possible for the first time. So-called ‘annealing pots’, pottery forms in which glass vessels were placed to cool in the annealing furnace, are presented extensively for the first time.
The reconstruction of the raw material composition and the spectrum of colour and forms of the Reichenau glasses has been made possible by the detailed inspection of the finds material and the results of chemical analyses. The glass was wood ash glass rich in silicon, although toward the end of the works` life the transition to the production of chalk glass had begun. From the waste glass it is possible to say that almost half the glass vessels were decoloured, almost a third were greenish and a fifth were otherwise green coloured; the rest were blue, red opaque, violet, emerald green, white and blue opaque, as well as opal and a very few black opaque vessels. The overly-represented violet raw glass consisted in the main part of intermediary or failed products of the decolouration process. Only a small part of the final product has this colour.
The production range, above all that of Reichenau II, included hollow, flat and solid glass. Colourless glasses à la façon de Venise (e.g. filigree and winding vessels), colourful plates, bowls and jugs, as well as simple everyday forms were found. Some groups, such as the diamond-point engraved or enamel-painted pieces, can be related to well-known, art historically narrowly-determinable, stylistic circles. Among the different flat glass types production in a little-known technique – the so-called ‘plate glass’ – was identified.
Faience production in the vicinity of the Reichenau glassworks was indicated by finds of unglazed sherds. The other pottery reveals something of the daily life of the glassmakers. Not only the usual domestic crockery was found, but also tobacco pipes, gaming pieces and a marble, which together with the illustration of a bowling alley in front of the glassworks in the “Topographia Windhagiana”, tell us how the glassmakers passed the time between work at the furnace.
The data considered as a whole allows more widely reaching statements about the operational methods of the glass works in the manor of Reichenau. The comparative analysis of the product range of archaeologically researched glassworks in central Europe underlines the quality of the production from Reichenau and the glass producing landscape of that area.
These results confirm that archaeological research at the sites of glassworks are essential to new impulses and findings in a historically and art historically-dominated glass research field.
Austria’s importance as the geographic link between Venice and Bohemia, the two important Central European glass centres in the medieval and early modern periods and its mediating role in the transfer of technological knowledge and innovation between these two poles has hardly been researched up to now. The research work presented here on the glass works of the manor of Reichenau illuminates this tension in exactly the period that saw the replacement of Venice as the leading European glass production centre by the Bohemian territories.
