The oldest glass finds from Turku date from the first half of the 14th century. Single glass vessels (lead glass, Schaffhausen beaker) were used already in Koroinen, where the bishopric was situated in the 13th century. Shards of a Venetian enamelled beaker have been found from the site of the Aboa Vetus museum. At the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century relatively large amounts of Bohemian and north German glass were imported to Turku ΓÇö especially beakers with applied glass threads ΓÇö but shards of late medieval glass produced in western Germany have been found in smaller numbers. During Renaissance both Gercman Waldglas and West European facon de Venise glass was brought to Turku.
