Medieval Glass 15th to 15th Century Reproduction

Drawing from the renowned glasshouses of Germany, England, and Bohemia, this forest glass goblet brings the spirit of 15th and 16th-century European dining to life. Crafted from soda-lime glass tinted green by natural wood ash and sand, it embodies the rustic clarity and earthy tone seen in late medieval to early Renaissance vessels.

This style—closely associated with the Römer and Krautstrunk forms—was prized across medieval households and noble halls alike. The applied prunts, or glass knobs that encircle the stem, served more than a decorative purpose; they gave drinkers a steady grip at lively feasts, even with oily hands or gloved fingers.

The occasional surface wave, bubble, or asymmetry is a mark of traditional free-blown glassmaking, not a flaw—these irregularities are direct links to medieval craftsmanship.

Goblets like this became especially common in England after the mid-1500s, where forest glass production flourished, bridging Continental techniques with native traditions. This style continues to resonate as a staple of period drinking vessels.

The decorative round mounts on the glass stem are fragile and can be knocked off from rigorous washing. Please be careful when cleaning. The glass has been discounted in price to account for this issue.
