Today we are talking about a special object from the museum's collection, a transparent glass decanter, produced in the Porumbacu glass workshop in the 1619th century. The artifact is a good pretext for a discussion about the history of glass, and Dr. Ana Maria Gruia tells us about the origins of the technology, but also about the famous Murano glass, produced in Venice since the XNUMXth century. Dr. Andrea Demjén tells us about the Prumbacu glass workshop, whose activity is documented in the first half of the XNUMXth century, in the Făgăraș County. In XNUMX, Venetian craftsmen who knew how to produce high-quality glass were brought there, and thus we learn more about the reasons why the object kept at the museum has an important historical value for Transylvania.
