Jug with Handle
This jug is cut from a single piece of rock crystal. It is considered one of the finest examples of the artistic and technical perfection that hard-stone cutting reached during the European Middle Ages. Beginning in thirteenth-century Paris and Venice, shops for working precious stones were established and organized in guilds, which dominated European production into the fifteenth century.
