Claw beaker

The proboscis cup (English claw beaker ) is a mostly bulbous glass beaker or cup of the 6th and 7th centuries. Characteristic of this glass are pulled out of the side wall of the glass and drooping, trunk- like decoration. These so-called trunk are regular, often added to the entire glass and in two rows, arranged one above the other. Most trunk cups were made ​​of Frankish glass blowers in the Lower Rhine and exported in large parts of Europe.
