Footnotes
Friedrich Egermann (1777-1864) established a leading glass decorating workshop and glasshouse in Bohemia at Haida (Nový Bor). In the 1840s he invented a method of staining glass surfaces a deep red. A related goblet is in the collection of the Corning Museum of Glass, accession no. 79.3.523.
