Burl glass

Name (also Nuppenglas) for jugs and beakers made of glass, on the outside of which knobs (elevations) were fused for better grip. Until the end of the 14th century, the knobs had a snail-like shape, from then on they became more pointed. In the 19th century, the knobs were very small and the glasses were also called "wart cups". In terms of texture, the Roman glass and the glass called Geripptes in Hesse are similar. The Dubbeglas and the Mainzer Stange do not have elevations but depressions for the same purpose. For more information on this topic, see also Wine Vessels and Wine Glasses and Winegrowing Customs.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
