Prunted

a prunted vase

This ornate wine glass, or roemer — with a hollow, prunted stem — bears an enameled scene of Mercury's rescue of the infant Bacchus. This type of prunted roemer was especially popular among Dutch glassmakers around 1690.

G. D. Weinberg argues that glass beakers with prunted decoration, optic-blown glass beakers, and simple mold-blown glass beakers were being produced in Corinth in the first half of the 12th century (Fig. 25.6).

A type of beaker more commonly found in the Latin East is the prunted beaker, a beaker with small protrusions of glass (prunts) attached to its exterior (Photo 7.4).

Thereafter, it passed into the repertoire of the transalpine glasshouses and inspired the creation of the typical prunted roemer of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
