July 6th., 1953.

Dear Mr. Buechner:

Now that your museum has become the owner of the d'Arenberg flask, I think you will like to have the enclosed document for your records.

It is a photostat of the description of the bottle written for the Duke d'Arenberg's collection, and includes references to other items found in the same tomb and in another tomb.  As it may not be completely legible at first glance, I am including a typewritten copy of the French text with an English translation.

Yours very sincerely,


Mrs. T.D. Parker.

Mr. Thomas B. Buechner,
The Corning Museum of Glass,
Corning Glass Center,
Corning, N.Y.
