This type of tumbler, also called gobelet caréné, has been used in noble circles since the Merovingian period. These glasses with convex shaped bottom - hence the other name Wackelbecher - were emptied in one go and then "overturned" on the table. This way you could prevent poison from entering the cup during a banquet. The glass for the thirsty! 5th-8th century
