Beakers with applied glass threads were made from the end of the 13th century onwards, first in Bohemia and later also in northern Germany. In the 14th and at the beginning of the 15th century, the beakers spread everywhere to the Baltic area, but not really west of the Sound. The vessels blown from colourless glass were decorated with applied vertical ribs and blue trails. In addition to the normal type, also a slender and high model is known from Turku and Tartu, for example. The Fadenribbenbechers were considered very rare for a long time, but with new finds our view has changed. The largest numbers of these beakers have been found in Bohemia, L├╝beck, Estonia and Turku.
