Sheffield scientists recreate 1,600-year-old Lycurgus Cup glass recipe

Sheffield team develops replicable recipe for dichroic glass

1 Oct 27 · 12d ago · 3 articles · 2 posts · 4 sources · development 1 of 1

University of Sheffield scientists Lisa Hollands and Caroline Jackson devise the first consistent, replicable formula for creating the Lycurgus Cup's optical effects in traditional glass. Through experimentation with furnace types, materials, oxygen levels, and additives including sugar, Hollands produces glass with the desired green-to-red color shift.

“I knew that making a glass of this type was likely to be a complex task, as it is not just a case of adding nanoparticles to glass.”
