Egelov glass from Mylenberg

Height 10.6 cm.

Mylenberg is the Danish glassworks with the shortest lifespan, only 11 years, the glassworks managed to survive before financial problems made bankruptcy inevitable.

Mylenberg was located on Gandrupgaard Estate near Aalborg and was owned by Chamberlain Mylius from the beginning in 1852, but from 1855 by Rathman and Kissmeyer, but problems arose as early as 1860 and the work went to foreclosure in 1863.

Only one price list from Mylenberg has survived, from 1859. This mentions that a number of goods are sold "with cuts", which is probably a Danishization of the German "Glasausschnitt", and since a large number of the employees were German, they chose to use this word to describe the cut goods for convenience.

For Mylenberg, a mystery has never been fully solved, namely the enamel decorated glasses. This glass has white fine enamel in a frieze with alternating two acorns at the top and two acorns at the bottom.

The glass is in good condition with a sharp crack at the bottom. It has a broken bubble on the side.
