Bratislava City Museum (founded 1868) has a relatively numerous collection of historic glass. The article analyses its commemorative glass from the 19th century. From a manufacturing technique this collection may be divided into two fundamental groups: colourless transparent glass decorated by glyptic techniques (cutting, carving or engraving) and coloured glass decorated by painting and gilding, often also in combination with engraving. A larger group of commemorative glass dates back to the period of Empire and Biedermeier (1st half of the 19th century). A number of artefacts were originated in the middle of the century or in the period of neo-styles (2nd half of the 19th century). To the basic characteristics of the commemorative objects belongs a combination of pictorial motives with texts - inscriptions, names (generally in German or Hungarian language) or initials. To the most interesting and qualitative examples belong coloured glasses with decoratively engraved inscriptions, individual letters being created by flowers and leaves. From the viewpoint of decorative motives the author divides the analysed collection into following groups: motives of Bratislava, health resort architecture, names and initials, religious and allegorical motives, symbolic motives and curiosities.
