Literature

A similarly decorated beaker of almost identical dimensions described as a "humpen" and attributed to "Northern Bohemia, early 17th century" in the collection of Rudolf von Strasser (in: von Strasser/Spiegl, Dekoriertes Glas, Munich 1989, no. 49).
For this decor cf. the Venetian enamelled glasses in the Kunstgewerbemuseum in Berlin (in: Dreier, Venezianische Gläser, Berlin 1989, no. 14 ff.)
Cf. the beaker with melted ribs in the Veste Coburg collection (Theuerkauff-Liederwald, Venezianisches Glas der Veste Coburg, Lingen 1994, no. 141, inv. no. HA 131).
