The Dram glass

Perhaps little Dorothea and her father, Henrik Ditlev Bruun (1832 – 1908) were out in the workshop at Flatset together. Maybe she sat and watched excited while he worked on different things. The small dram glass is turned in wood. Maybe it was a small, joint project for father and daughter?

On the outside, Dorothea has written in neat handwriting, so there can never be any doubt:

“This dram glass has been turned by our father Henrik Ditlev Bruun Fladset. Dorthea Bruun”

The Dram glass that Dorothea’s father made is today part of the collection at Melbo Manor
