• So-called “Aldrevandin Group” of enamelled glasses.
• Review of the hypothesis about the origin of the Aldrevandin beakers and other glasses from this group:
- made in Germany (J.A. Kuhn - 1876; F. de Mély - 1905);
- made in Venice (A. Hartshorne - 1897);
- “Syro-Frankish” - made in Syria for European customers (E. Dillon - 1907; R. Schmidt - 1912; C.J. Lamm - 1929);
- made in Venice/Murano (L. Zecchin - 1969-1970);
- made in Venice/Murano and perhaps in other European locations as well (I. Krueger - 1998).
• Some characteristics:
- the majority of these glasses are represented by beakers, but there are also shallow cups, highstemmed bowls, and bottles;
- glasses painted with enamels, often gilded as well;
- the base glass was usually more or less colourless, but it could also be blue, or probably red.
– Since 1995, many new fragments have been excavated in Europe (most of them in Germany) and in Israel.
• Inscriptions on the glasses:
“+ MAGISTER. ALDREVANDIN. ME FECI[T]” (fig. 1) and “+ MAGISTER.ALDREVANDINVS. ME. F.” (fig. 11);
“ MAGISTER BA[R]TOLAMEUS”;
“+ IUVENES SUMUS DUM TEMPUS HABEMUS” (we are young as long as we have time) (fig. 6);
“AVE MARIA” (fig. 8);
“ME + APORTA TECUM SIUI[S] COMEDE[R]E (bring me with you when you want to feast) (fig. 10);
“ [M]AGI[ST]ER DON[I]NVS”;
“AMOR VINCIT O[MNIA]”.
• Iconographic representations on the glasses:
– figurative: Virgin and Child (fig. 3, fig. 9); holy bishops (fig. 10), scenes of courtly love (fig. 12-13, fig. 14);
– animal: stag’s antlers (fig. 1), pelican (fig. 6), peacock tail (fig. 8);
– geometric (fig. 7).
• Question with regard to the identification of the Magister Aldrevandinus with “Aldrevandino fiolario” mentioned during 1331 in a “sentenza podestarile” (legal document from the Podestà of Murano).
