This type of stocky vessel, known as a Krautstrunk (literally, cabbage stalk), was one of the most common forms of drinking glass in Germany during the late Middle Ages; the green color is also characteristically German. The vessel displays applied drops of glass called prunts, used both to decorate its sides and to permit a firm grip.
