Dear FOHBC Board Members: I am pleased to nominate Willy Van den Bossche, one of our hobby’s most distinguished individuals, to the FOHBC Hall of Fame. Willy is presently a 2003 Honor Roll member so this would be an upgrade to the Hall of Fame, our most prestigious level. Willy is a world-class collector, researcher, author and all-around kind person who has always shared his passion and knowledge at every level. It has been a real pleasure working with him in the undertaking. Willy was born in Belgium in 1943 where he graduated in industrial engineering in 1967 and then specialised in glass technology. For two years he worked as a Chief Plant Engineer in the bottle making industry in Antwerp (Belgium) where he started collecting bottles. From 1971 until his retirement he worked as a Chief Patent Examiner in the field of glass technology at the European Patent Office (EPO) in Holland where he searched more than 4,000 glass patent applications world-wide. In 1999, he authored the International Patent Classification in the field of Glass Technology (C03B) for the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). For more than 50 years he has been a pioneer and a serious collector of European antique glass bottles (1500-1850) and utility glass, as well as all literature on glass, the art of glass and glassmaking from all over the world. In 2001, after capping 12 years of research and development, he authored his first major reference work, Antique Glass Bottles - Their History and Evolution (1500-1850) – A Comprehensive, Illustrated Guide – With a World-wide Bibliography of Glass Bottles (440 p. with 770 European bottles, jars and seals illustrating in full colour his entire private bottle collection). In 2012, he authored his second major reference work, Bibliography of Glass: From the Earliest Times to the Present (347 p., 3,426 titles) spending 10 years for preparing this book in four languages (English, French, German and Dutch). His most important glass library (4,200 books) contains all the significant literature devoted to antique glass and glass bottles world-wide in all languages. Willy is a member of several international associations for the history of glass including the Glass Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM/Glass). He has lectured and written many articles on antique bottles and glass. He retired in 2003 and lives in Belgium. Sincerely,

Ferdinand Meyer V

ie weltbekannte französische Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers von Denis Diderot (17131784) und Jean-Baptiste le Rond d’Alembert (1717-1783) wurde ab 1751 schrittweise publiziert und verzeichnete alle Berufe der damaligen Zeit. Die Kunst des Seidenspinnens wird ausführlich in dem Band «Art de la soie» veranschaulicht. Für das Zwirnen von zwei oder mehr Seidenfäden interessiert an dieser Stelle besonders die italienische Moulin de Piémont (Piemonteser Zwirnmühle) von etwa 1730. Abbildung 1 zeigt eine ovale Zwirnmühle (Soierie, Planche XIX), die bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Gebrauch war. Sie wurde anfänglich mit der

Hand angetrieben, später durch eine Wassermühle und schließlich durch eine Dampfmaschine. Abbildung 2 zeigt die Detailzeichnung (Soierie, Planche XIX) einer runden Zwirnmühle, die die Aufhängung und Lagerung der Garnspulen zwischen zwei Holzbrettern darstellt und erläutert (Fig. 5, 6). Die Spulen werden von einer mittelachsig angebrachten Stahlspindel getragen. Sie werden jeweils unten durch einen Holzträger und auf ihrem Platz durch kleine handgepresste topfförmige Glaslager, auch Spindeltöpfchen genannt, gehalten. Diese gläsernen Spindeltöpfchen werden in der Archäologie selten als solche erkannt. Oft werden sie mit Fingerhüten, Tintenfässchen oder Stöpsel verwechselt.

Willy Van den Bossche Von der Bekerschroef zum Schinkel-Römer

3 Stilleben von Franchoys Elout von 1629 mit gefülltem Römer und liegendem Römer auf hohem Fuß

Franchoys Elout (Haarlem 1589 – Haarlem 1635) zu sehen ist (Abbildung 3). Ganz ähnliche Gläser finden sich um 1630 auf Bildern von Willem Claesz. Heda (Haarlem 1594 – 1680/82 Haarlem) und Pieter Claesz. (Antwerpen 1597 – 1661 Haarlem). [2] Auffällig ist, dass sogar der zu Tropfen ausgezogene, aufgelegte Standring beim hohen Römer beibehalten wurde und den mit ausgezogenen Nuppen belegten Schaft des Glases von dem langen Schaft mit drei Knäufen, die mit gekniffenen Glasfäden und ebenfalls ausgezogenen Nuppen belegt wurden, abgrenzt. Der relativ flache, breit auslaufende gesponnene Fuß schließt das insgesamt 21,5 cm hohe Glas nach unten ab. Diesen oder einen nahezu identischen Glasrömer auf hohen Fuß finden wir wieder auf einem Stich um 1866 (Abbildung 4) der ehemaligen flämischen Glassammlung Minard-Van Horebeke. [3]

Nicht ganz leicht zu entdecken, ist die «Bekerschroef» mit Metallmontierung auf dem Gemälde «Der verlorene Sohn verschwendet sein Erbteil in einem Bordell» von Christoffel Jacobsz van der La(e)men (Brüssel 1607 – 1651 Antwerpen) aus dem Jahre 1640 (Abbildung 5): Auf dem Tisch ein Gedeck mit zwei Flöten und ein mit Rotwein gefüllter Berkemeyer auf einer Becherschraube. Die Metallmontierung hat ebenfalls drei Knäufe. Der Fuß ist durch eine Pastete verdeckt. Der verlorene Sohn hält einen Berkemeyer mit Weißwein in seiner linken Hand. Am rechten Bildrand vorne steht ein Weinkühler, in dem zwei eckige Flaschen mit Zinnverschluss stehen, eine mit Weißwein und eine mit Rotwein gefüllt. [4] Rund 200 Jahre später wird die Form der niederländischen Becherschraube durch Karl Friedrich Schinkel (1781 – 1841 Berlin) noch einmal aufgegriffen. In den

«Entwürfe für Glasgefäße» von 1830 [5] (Abbildung 6, rechts vorne) findet sich ein «Schinkel-Römer» mit der Erläuterung: «Sie sind von Schinkel entworfen, und dabei zum Theil von alten Gläsern hergenommene Motive benutzt.» Bei Schinkel sitzen die eiförmige Kuppa und das mit Beerennuppen belegte Unterteil auf einem Schaft, der an venezianische oder Nürnberger Vorbilder erinnert. Schinkel-Römer wurden nach historischem Vorbild in der Glashütte Gernheim hergestellt. Exemplare aus dieser preußischen Hütte sind allerdings wenig bekannt. Dagegen waren die Kristallglasfabrik Theresienthal (Zwiesel) und die Gräflich Schaffgotsch’sche Josephinenhütte (Schreiberhau) bekannte Hersteller dieser Römertypus bis zum Anfang des 20. Jahrhundert. Der «Schinkel-Römer» kommt vor in Dunkelgrasgrün, farblos, Antikgrün und Resedagrün. Die Höhe variiert zwischen 16 cm und 25,5 cm.

Anmerkungen 1 Das Glas erzielte bei einem Verkauf im Jahre 2005 (Auktionskatalog Dr. Fischer Nr. 150, 11.-12. März 2005 ) den Rekorderlös von 35.000,00 Euro, im Jahre 2014 (Auktionskatalog Dr. Fischer Nr. 233, 8. November 2014) lag der Zuschlag bei 8.000,00 Euro. Eine Fachdiskussion über die zeitliche Zuweisung des Glases hält an. 2 vgl.
