These vessels were often made of waldglas, or forest glass and dated to the late medieval and early renaissance period, most being found in Germanic areas, and the Low Countries.
These vessels were often quite large and engraved, gilded, or elaborately enameled, and dated from approximately the 16th – 18th centuries in the areas of Germany and Bohemia.
Made for storing spirits, especially brandy, these bottles were made almost exclusively in Germany from the beginning of the 14th century all the way into the 17th century.
This vessel is directly based on the Deblin Cup, a 15th century vessel currently housed in the British Museum. Our version was made for the The King (2018).
