WMF MYRA glassware
Myra is the name given to the iridized glass produced by WMF from 1926. Based on the same techniques used by Tiffany and Loetz,
the glassmaker Karl Wiedmann brought it to the production stage
after experimentation at the Zwiesel glass school.
The glass is a crystal formulated with silver nitrate instead of lead.
The silver gives the glass a rich translucent amber color, but more importantly,
it comes to the surface when reduced in the oven.
