Specialist note

The Stangenglas is a traditional Germanic form that originates from 15th century prototypes, usually of green-tinted Waldglas and continued to be popular until the late 17th century. For a related example also with a cover, in the collections of the Hermitage, St. Petersburg, see Dwight P. Lanmon and David B. Whitehouse, Glass in the Robert Lehman Collection, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 1993, p. 157, fig. 57.5.
