Glass Decoration Elements – History and Technology

Abstract:

Glass decoration elements have been known for centuries. Many of them are preserved in a good shape. Actually the glass production development was started from tiny pieces called glass beads. Some of these products belong to very important historical objects which undergoing conservator activity to preserve our cultural heritage. To realize such enterprise very detailed research should be done. This paper is about testing of different glass decoration elements which belong to historical objects, in order to get information about their history and technology production. This research was carried out on small pieces of glass borrowed from historical objects in partnership between AGH - Technical University of Science and Technology and four different conservator groups. Testing made use of non-destructive techniques, like: EDS, FTIR, AFM.
