AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of Renaissance style Danish Pas drinking glasses called “Hammershus glass” made as a reproduction in Bornholm Denmark, by Torben Sode in the 90s.
26 cm hight
8 cm in diameter
Pasglasses are drinking glasses from the Renaissance in the years 1400 - 1500. Pasglas have been found in several places in Europe. In Copenhagen they were found at Bremerholm and in 1897 in Købmagergade. The pictured pasglas with blue grooves is a copy of a find from Hammershus on Bornholm in the year 1500.
In Denmark, pasglas were blown in glass huts of the time. Shards of pasglas were found at the excavations of Bispetorv in Århus in 2009. As well as at the Metro excavations at Kongens Nytorv Copenhagen in 2011.
A pasglas has 5 or more rings, and is a hexagonal or octagonal glass. The glass is a social glass! People took turns drinking from the glass. Each bowl had to be "fit". The goal was to drink exactly to one of the rings...."fit-fit". Then it was the next person's turn to drink
