Bell Beaker 6th century

This bell-shaped beaker is an extraordinary piece, drawing inspiration from 4th-century finds across Germany, Belgium, and France. This vessel has been found in various shapes and sizes dating around 6th -9th century. Both migriation period and viking age.

 Combining elements from two distinct archaeological examples, this beaker showcases an octagonal design that creates a fascinating optical illusion: when filled, the edges seem to disappear, giving the glass a smooth, rounded appearance—a remarkable feature for its time!

With no foot, it stands firmly on its base, and the glassblower refined the design to be more comfortable to use by avoiding a rounded base.highlighting its robust and balanced design. This unique craftsmanship, blending form and visual trickery, makes it an exceptional addition for any collector of early European glass.
