The Historical Utility Glass Foundation aims at a fresh stream of articles on historical glass by stimulating glass collectors, antique dealers, museum curators and co-workers of universities to set their opinions and knowledge on paper. The Foundation is the custodian of a fund from which a biennial prize of € 1000, – will be awarded to the author that submits the best article. Prof. Dr. Ina Isings, emeritus professor of the Archaeological Institute of the Utrecht University and curator of the archaeological collection of the Provincial Society of Art and Sciences in Utrecht has been kind enough togive her name to this award.
