Goblet with Glass Threads
Iron Age, AD 400, Northern Sweden
![Goblet with Glass Threads]()
Replica of drinking glass with glass-thread decor. Most of the glasses have been found on the big Swedish island Gotland (in the Baltic Sea). This has been found in northern Sweden in the city Holm of the Ångermanland province. It was probably manufactured between AD 400 to 500. Its origin was most likely from the Frankish Empire, but many experts claim it was produced in Scandinavia. The island Gotland has a long history as a natural trade center in the Baltic Sea. The Iron Age: period between the Bronze Age and the Medieval Period when iron was used as tools or weapon; different time periods in different cultures, Central Europe BC 800 - AD 500, in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Denmark) BC 500 - AD 1050.
This glass is produced by hand with the same techniques they used for 1500 years ago, which means that the size and thickness of the glasses may vary slightly. The color of the glass may also vary as well as the number of small bubbles inside the glass.
