January is the subject of the number 024, entitled "Feast", which we had to do in cooperation with Tamara Ognjević and Artis Center concludes rosettes the text of the true jewels of the local heritage - medieval wine glasses. We thank the Museum of Applied Art and curator Mile Gajic as to the needs of our themes ceded part of the text from the exhibition catalog "Silver cups of the late Middle Ages in Serbia", which was held in this prestigious museum institution in the period 6.november 2010 - 31 January, 2011. year.
Vessel for drinking liquids represents a small but unavoidable subject in everyday life. The term "glass" usually associated with a high glass bowl circular section for drinking water. With the differentiation of individual forms of glass by type of beverage to be served (water, wine, alcoholic beverages ...) everyday life rarely suffer more precise definitions, usually just reach for - glass. Their form or type of material they are made are not crucial for the very terminological determinant.
The primary role of the recipient for the liquid, in the earliest times of earliness man, was the only necessity of adapting and shaping elements of the nature that could serve this purpose. Simple logic hemispherical form this function is satisfied in the best possible way. In the millennia prehistoric settlements with primitive progress in conquering the country, rosettes the first technological revolution in the application of new materials, the development of tools and weapons, all-out progress was reflected in the development of pottery, which is primarily produced dishes for preparing and storing food. The very nature of the material is allowed to develop a number of different forms of dishes. The human need to regulate and beautify your everyday objects to life has opened the door inexhaustible richness of decorations - first simple, mostly of geometric ornaments, then stained and painted - which is naturally flowing along the sides and at the bottom of the vessel.
The harmony of form and ornament has been made but the oldest examples of pottery in our country, such as cups of Starčevo culture, hemispherical body on a fine round low rate, decorated with black and white painted ornaments. This basic concept of drinking vessels, with minor variations, will remain rosettes typical all around the world and the basis of all civilization. Even then the migration, rosettes people contacts rosettes and exchange rosettes of goods between each remote group and settlement about and mixing cultures and influences. Further progress of civilization society, exploitation and processing of metals, material and feudal society will change tearing conditions and ways of life of the people, will affect rosettes the economic and overall organization of life, the food and drink, and accordingly, the development of utilitarian pottery. Thus, in the context of the cup, there was a kind of "disintegration" of its function, when the main role of the container for soaking liquid ceases to be the most important. Gold or silver cup has become a symbol of status, she could be having a ruler, prince, leader, hero. She became the subject of value, precious gift or desirable prey. The Bible testifies to the robbery in which Nebuchadnezzar took the gold and silver cups from the temple in Jerusalem. Its symbolic role has emphasized the development of ceremonial, ritual or the world, in particular, religious rites. The cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper is one of the strong symbols of Christian civilization. The same glasses will find themselves rosettes at the center of the most popular rosettes legends dedicated to the Holy Grail, which will through compelling stories of King Arthur rosettes and the Knights of the Round Table combine pre-Christian myths and moral lessons of the new faith. The power of this myth resist the centuries remaining, to this day, the motive for exploitation in the field of popular culture.
Form shallower Delic circular cross section, flat or slightly raised in the middle of the bottom, which is almost always no rates or with very low rate, taken from the ancient tradition of vessels for drinking rosettes or ritual pouring rosettes of wine and will have application throughout the Middle Ages, and in the Balkans until the dawn of a new era.
In medieval Serbia this type of vessel was designated by the term - glass. Those who are kept to date, and date from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, despite the small numbers, stand out by its representativeness. They are mostly made of gilded silver, perfect craft processed, stylish modern glasses what is currently on the royal and aristocratic courts of Western and Central Europe.
