Nøgen Jomfru (historical stemware form)
Nøgen Jomfru is a historical model name for a funnel-shaped drinking glass with an air bubble in its stem. Nøstetangen Norwegian Glass Museum discusses it among forms with German connections. The name identifies a glass form, rather than a nude figure or a decorative image.
What should be examined?
The museum's examples show variation. One has a folded foot rim. Another is described with a long, irregular air bubble in the stem and a round, slightly domed foot with a folded rim. Use these records for comparison, rather than treating them as a fixed recipe requiring identical dimensions and colour.
Form and manufacturer are separate facts
A glass resembling this form is not thereby securely identified as Nøstetangen production. Record bowl profile, stem construction, bubble position, foot and any engraving. Photograph the side and underside. A manufacturing attribution requires evidence beyond the model name alone, and uncertainty should be stated explicitly in the description.
