The Bohemian prunted beakers, or Stangengläser, were narrow, tall glasses with a foot-ring, and their body wad densely decorated with small prunts. In one, almost half-metre-high, beaker found in Prague there are as many as 475 prunts. Stangengläser were made of colourless or greenish glass, and they were probably meant for drinking beer. These beakers, often associated with the Teutonic Order, were commonly used in the eastern parts of Germany as well as in the whole Baltic area at the end of the 14th and during the 15th century. In addition to the prunts, Stangengläser decorated with blue glass trails were favoured in the North. The best-known of them has been found in Kalmar, southern Sweden.
