Vessels from Italy come from Etruscan tombs near Capua and, in the more recent period, from Aquileia. The finds from Mainz and Niederbreisig represent glass from sites in Germany. The authors could add to the catalogue several vessels from Lanna’s collection, acquired after his death by important European and American museums.
