Lot Essay

A similar Krautstrunk from the Karl Amendt Collection, reputedly found in Cologne, is illustrated by Erwin Baumgartner and Ingeborg Kreuger, Phönix aus Sand und Asche Glas des Mittelalters, Munich, 1988, pp. 411-412, no. 515 and again in Erwin Baumgartner, Glas des Mittelalters und der Renaissance Die Sammlung Karl Amendt, Dusseldorf, 2005, p. 103, cat. no. 47.

A glass similar to the present example appears in 'The Supper of Saint Benedict and the Curé de Monte Preclaro', part of a winged altar of 1552 by Jan van Coninxloo in the Musea voor Schone Kunsten, Brussels. See Erwin Baumgartner 2005, op. cit., p. 47, pl. 27.
