The Loan Collection, South Kensington Museum: rock crystal vase and central table ornament of rock crystal and silver, (German, 17th century), 1868. 'The Austrian Government has lent a few interesting specimens of German lapidary and goldsmiths' work of the seventeenth century. One is a vase of rock crystal, mounted in gold enamel. The other is a centrepiece to ornament a table, composed of five pieces of rock crystal, mounted in enamelled silver; the engraving on the crystals was probably done by an Italian artist'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
