Glass Lamps, a Few Points

Abstract

Funnel-shaped glasses have been found in several places, for example in Birka (graves 577, 526, 551, 850, 854, 464, 849 and 433), Sweden and in the Netherlands (De Heul, Utrecht collection PUG). They are often used by reenactors as drinking cups, but could that be their only possible function?
