Altarese glassmakers in Maastricht


Cristoforo Pertica was one of the glassmakers from Altare authorized by the Consuls of the Glass’ Art to practice glass blowing out of Altare. In 1656, with three Dutchmen, he founded a glasswork in Maastricht. Each of them had to make a deposit of 4.000 Gulden of Brabant […].
