一般蛋糕托盤在歐洲部分國家偶爾是可以找得到, 但是"迷你"蛋糕托盤加上有歷史, 雕花又古典的我就真得很少看到了. 所以即使她不是水晶, 我還是忍不住把她收納入我的收藏.
為了讓這個迷你蛋糕托盤更顯完整, 我很努力的幫她找到了一個迷你蛋糕鏟, 雖然它也不是銀製品, 但是看在雕花這麼細緻的分上, 我也決定把它納入收藏. 所以誰說平民餐具不能也很浪漫

很可惜我無法知道這三個香檳杯是哪個品牌. 但是從它的雕工, 顏色, 透度以及質量肯定是名牌跑不掉. 若是你認的出來她們是哪個品牌, 請務必跟我分享資訊.
如果找個字來形容這三個水晶杯, 我想非Elegant莫屬, 它所散發出來的氣質, 讓杯裡不管裝的是什麼酒, 還沒喝 光看 看起來都像好酒喔. 來幫她們取個名字好了, 就叫Magic glass

這個系列的水晶杯是我看過算非常特殊, 也確實非常浪漫的ㄧ款. 由於我的拍照技術不夠好, 拍不出它實際拿在手上的那個質量.
它完美的削邊, 超超細緻的水晶杯面雕刻工, 以及握在手中的Fu. 我只能說名牌就是名牌, Rosenthal工匠手藝果然名不虛傳!
這幾年, 我也體驗過其它較新系列Rosenthal出產的水晶杯, 但是....至今還沒能發現比這款更深得我心了...

Glassmaker Michael Nachtmann founds the company F.X. Nachtmann in 1834. Initially, the company manufaacutes its products at its Unterhütte site near Herzogau in the Bavarian Forest, Ödhütte near Furth im Wald and Seebachhütte near Eisenstein, in Bavaria.
In 1900, Zacharias Frank takes over the company and moves the head quarters to Neustadt an der Waldnaab, the present company headquarters.
In 1945, Nachtmann rebuilds the partially-destroyed production facilities and restarts lead crystal production in Neustadt and Riedlhütte.
In 1983, the foundations are laid for the new, state-of-the-art crystal facility in Weiden.
Respecting its past, Nachtmann actively shape its future. With an artisan heritage stretching back over 175 years, it is pioneering environmental technology at among one of Europe’s most modern plants. In the best German tradition, Nachtmann combine craftsmanship with rigid quality control, new technology and a passion for perfection.
In 1995, Nachtmann takes over the Amberg factory from Rosenthal in order to increase its own production facilities of machine made crystal stemware.
On September 17th 2004, Riedel takes over 100% of the shares of the Nachtmann Crystal AG.

History of Murano glassmaking
It is believed that glassmaking in Murano originated in 8th century Rome, with significant Asian and Muslim influences, as Venice was a major trading port. Murano’s reputation as a center for glassmaking was born when the Venetian Republic, fearing fire and destruction of the city’s mostly wooden buildings, ordered glassmakers to move their foundries to Murano in 1291. Murano glass is still interwoven with Venetian glass.
Murano's glassmakers were soon the island’s most prominent citizens. By the 14th century, glassmakers were allowed to wear swords, enjoyed immunity from prosecution by the Venetian state, and found their daughters married into Venice’s most affluent families. However glassmakers were not allowed to leave the Republic. Many craftsmen took this risk and set up glass furnaces in surrounding cities and as far afield as England and the Netherlands.
By the end of the 16th century, three thousand of Murano island's seven thousand inhabitants were involved in some way in the glassmaking industry.
Murano’s glassmakers held a monopoly on quality glassmaking for centuries, developing or refining many technologies including crystalline glass, enamelled glass (smalto), glass with threads of gold (aventurine), multicoloured glass (millefiori), milk glass (lattimo), and imitation gemstones made of glass. Today, the artisans of Murano are still employing these centuries-old techniques, crafting everything from contemporary art glass and glass figurines to Murano glass chandeliers and wine stoppers.
Today, Murano is home to a vast number of factories and a few individual artists' studios making all manner of glass objects from mass marketed stemware to original sculpture. The Museo del Vetro (Glass Museum) in the Palazzo Giustinian houses displays on the history of glassmaking as well as glass samples ranging from Egyptian times through the present day.[3]
Murano Glass was produced in great quantities in the 1950s and 1960s for export and for tourists.[4]
The process of making Murano glass is rather complex. Most Murano glass art is made using the lampworking technique. The glass is made from silica, which becomes liquid at high temperatures. As the glass passes from a liquid to a solid state, there is an interval wherein the glass is soft before it hardens completely, allowing the artisan to shape the material.
Some of the Murano's historical glass factories remain well known brands today, amongst them Gabbiani, Venini, Salviati, Barovier & Toso, Pauly, FerroMurano, Berengo Studio, Seguso, Formia International, Simone Cenedese, Alessandro Mandruzzato, and many others. The oldest glass factory is Antica Vetreria Fratelli Toso, founded in 1854.
The other raw materials, called flux or melting agents, soften at lower temperatures. The more sodium oxide present in the glass, the slower it solidifies. This is important for hand-working because it allows the glassmaker more time to shape the material. The various raw materials that an artisan might add to a glass mixture are sodium (to make the glass surface opaque), nitrate and arsenic (to eliminate bubbles) and colouring or opacifying substances.
Colours, techniques and materials vary depending upon the look a glassmaker is trying to achieve. Aquamarine is created through the use of copper and cobalt compounds, whereas ruby red uses a gold solution as a colouring agent.
Murrine technique begins with the layering of colored liquid glass, which is then stretched into long rods called canes (see caneworking). When cold, these canes are then sliced in cross-section, which reveals the layered pattern. The better-known term "millefiori" is a style of murrine that is defined by each layer of molten color being molded into a star, then cooled and layered again. When sliced, this type of murrine has the appearance of many flowers, thus mille- (thousand) fiori (flowers).
Filigree (a type of caneworking), glass engraving, gold engraving, incalmo, lattimo, painted enamel, ribbed glass and submersion are just a few of the other techniques a glassmaker can employ.
Sommerso (lit. "submerged" in Italian), or "sunken glasses", is a form of artistic Murano glass that has layers of contrasting colors (typically two), which are formed by dipping the object in molten glass; the outermost layer, or casing, is often clear. Sommerso was developed in Murano during the late thirties and was made popular by Seguso d'Arte in the fifties. This process is a popular technique for vases, and is sometimes used for sculptures.
Special tools are essential for Murano artisans to make their glass. Some of these tools include borselle (tongs or pliers used to hand-form the red-hot glass), canna da soffio (blowing pipe), pontello (an iron rod to which the craftsman attaches the object after blowing in order to add final touches), scagno (the glass-master's workbench) and tagianti (large glass-cutting clippers).

這種精緻的水晶容器, 通常是用來裝盛給沙拉dipping用的佐料或是醬汁. 通常在招待重要的客人時或是比較特別的家庭聚餐, 這樣精緻的水晶容器才會出現喔 
若是在比較沒那麼講究的家庭, 一般多使用用玻璃製容器來代替水晶.
若是有機會妳的歐洲朋友拿出這樣的水晶容器或是在這個部落格裡有介紹到的名牌瓷器招待妳, 就代表妳是被重視的. 別忘了在享受美食的同時, 也好好欣賞被妳使用中的名牌器皿喔

由於這兩個水晶杯的作工很厚實, 之於當冷飲杯, 我倒覺得把這兩個水晶杯拿來當熱飲杯更有噱頭也很合適喔. 例如熱柑桔紅茶
