61 Musterbuch J. F. Römisch, Steinschönau 1832, Lit. Q, Tat. IX: Bowleservice, Becher und Deckelgefäße 
61 Pattern book of J. F. Römisch, Steinschönau 1832, Lit. Q, pl. IX: punch Service, beaker and vessels with cover 
jugs). Thus they were preserved for us, these minutely de- 
tailed drawings for glasses to be cut and highly polished in the 
“brilliant“ style (faceted Ornaments) in small patterns with rib- 
bing and ball shaped printies on the sides, faceted, with exact 
instructions for the small details in the cutting for the bases. 
Bauer’s drawings appear to be related to some of the glasses 
in the sample book from Römisch/Steinschönau that was prin- 
ted in lithograph in 1832 and showed what was probably a pa- 
norama of Bohemian glass products at that time. Gustav E. 
Pazaurek was the first to mention this work and he reproduced 
several examples from it. There are several characteristic 
pages shown here (pp. 34, 36, 38, 48, 50). In a comparison of 
the jugs with handles shown in the sample book (ill. 109, p. 50) 
with glasses that were actually made (ills. 110,111, p, 51) typi- 
cal characteristics dominate: the rieh cutting that divides the 
surface of the bodies of the vessels as well as the foot and 
handle into sections and that demands a corresponding 
thickness of the glass. The rieh variety of patterns found here 
are used as borders, in radial arrangements (bases), in circles, 
ovals and “fields“ of other shapes. Cutting in small designs 
(“brilliant style“) create a rnore delicate, almost glittering re- 
fraction of the light; the style of cutting that is perhaps the most 
famous, that for the cog-wheel base (s. pp. 42-45) is usually 
referred to as having been “struck.“
