Liturgical glassware from Leerdam
Exploring new markets, the Leerdam glassfactory decided to produce glassware for religious use. Between 1927 and 1929 glass-designer A.D. Copier cooperated with the artist and Benedictine monk Dom Gregorius de Wit OSB (Ordo Sancti Benedicti) in designing a whole range of glass for use in the Catholic liturgy. The illustration of a comtemporary promotional leaflet in the collection of the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum, shows a wide variety in objects like altar vases, ampoules and other objects. Unfortunately the range was not very successful and only few examples exist.
