Retort
notes: label: Description
content: Frantisek Kavalir (1796–1853), a glassworker in Sázava, Bohemia, developed a hard and chemically-resistant glass in the 1830s and, working with the Swedish chemist, Jons Jacob Berzelius, began making glassware suitable for chemical work. His son, Josef Kavalier (1831–1903), continued the business. This retort, which came from the Stevens Institute of Technology, has the blue logo of the Kavalier firm.
