Learn MoreThe most important late medieval glass form came to its name as the glass with its attached nubs reminded of a white cabbage stalk. The name Krautstrunk was already used in 1562 by the Wittenberg pastor Johann Mathesius in his "Glass Sermon". Glasses of this shape were also found near altars, so it should be emphasized that they were also used in the church rite - for altar wine or as a glass reliquary. The attached nubs were meant as decorational elements as well as to provide a secure grip. The attachment of liquid glass gobs has been known since ancient times. 15th century.
