Mylenberg vine leaf glass, 11 cm.

Height 11 cm.

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

Mylenberg was located on Gandrupgaard Estate near Aalborg and was owned by Kammerherre Mylius from the beginning in 1852, but from 1855 by Rathman and Kissmeyer, but already from 1860 problems arose and the factory went into receivership in 1863.

Only one price list from Mylenberg has survived, from 1859, which mentions a number of products sold "with cut" which is probably a translation of the German "Glasausschnitt", and as a large number of the employees were German, they chose to use this word to describe the cut products.

The glass is cut with "hanging vine leaves".

The glass is in good condition with a sharp crack underneath.
