Mylenberg vine leaf glass

Height 10.8 cm.

Mylenberg is the Danish glassworks with the shortest lifespan, only 11 years, 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 already from 1860 and the works 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.

The glass is cut with Mylenberg's classic lying vine leaves with dense grapes. The glass is in good condition with a sharp crack at the bottom.
