The roemer became fashionable during the course of the 16th century. It had an ovoid bowl reminiscent of our current wine glasses. The stem is decorated with raspberry-shaped prunts. It is not certain where this glass was made. Most green glass was imported from Germany, but a few centres producing green glass emerged in the Netherlands during the 16th century.
