Smithcraft Glasscraft

Mermal was a Master Glass-smith during the Ninth Pass.

Biography[]

Mermal blew Masterharper Robinton's blue wine goblet, which can be seen in this Image by Robin Wood.

Fandarel told Robinton that, even though he would have preferred to see the red of Benden Wine in a clear cup, Mermal chose to tint the entire glass blue.

Inconsistency[]

In The White Dragon, Menolly presented Robinton with "a beautiful glass goblet, its base stained harper blue, its cup incised with the Master’s name and a harp," as is shown in the 'Image by Robin Wood' noted above. Fandarel told Robinton that the cup came from his crafthall and indicated that it had been blown by Mermal.

In All the Weyrs of Pern, Lytol presented Robinton with "the Harper’s beautiful blue glass goblet." Robinton's thoughts to himself were that Norist "blew elegant glass and in the exact shade of harper blue."
