Full shot of a large collection glass vessels, all of which have flaws, cracks and missing parts etc Various types of glasses are present, including goblets, tumblers, small bowls, and footed cups. The glasses are in a variety of colors, including translucent and opaque shades of green, light teal, blue, and even some with hints of a white/gray color.
Fascinating world of #glass: Glass vessels from the 16th and early 17th century, found in a latrine in Ulm.
Latrines were commonly used for waste disposal.
