Boesen, Gudmund.  VENETIANSKE GLAS PA ROSENBORG - VENETIAN GLASS AT 
ROSENBORG CASTLE.

Copenhagen; 1960. Edition limited to 1000 copies.

A sumptuously illustrated catalog of the unique collection of Venetian 
glass brought back to Rosenborg Castle in 1709 by King Frederik IV. 
Venetian glass is not common in Danish collections of this period- most 
imported glass was of Germanic origin. Much of this glass represented gifts 
from the Venetian Senate, and is of the highest quality and inventiveness. 
Fabulous tableware is augmented by such unusual items as candelabra, glass 
fruits, and a glass knife, spoon and fork. The tri-lingual text includes a 
full English translation. A real treat for Venetian glass 
lovers.  Hardcover. 8"x12", about 250 pages; color frontispiece, several 
b/w illustrations in the text, and 143 items illustrated in b/w. A fine 
copy in a fine dj.  [07782]  $350.00
