Roman cut beaker, Öremölla
Roman cut beaker. Model from Öremölla, Skåne, Sweden. Beginning of 2nd century. Approx. 18 cl.
The man’s grave from Öremölla is particularly known for its well-preserved Roman wine set and the two glass beakers adorned with engraved ovals. The grave dates to the Roman Iron Age (c. 1–400 CE), with a more precise estimate around the year 100 CE. The man was given a cremation burial in Öremölla, Skivarp Parish, in Skåne. The artifacts were discovered by the farmer Rasmus Bengtsson and forwarded by the confectioner F. Dahlman, and were redeemed for 200 riksdaler in 1872.

Scanglas sells handcrafted products made from various materials such as glass, metal, horn, bone, and wood. Each product is unique, with natural variations in color, finish, size, and shape that reflect the charm of genuine craftsmanship.
Our historical glassware consists of meticulously crafted replicas that capture the 2000-year history of glassblowing. Each piece is mouth-blown and handmade, featuring details such as decorations and glass threads, giving them an authentic character. A hallmark of handmade glass is the punt mark on the underside, the softly rounded edge on the rim, and subtle variations in size, thickness, and details. The specially formulated glass material mimics historical color tones and includes small air bubbles and structural variations, which together contribute to the glassware's unique and genuine character.
In addition to glass, we also offer products made of metal, horn, bone, and wood. These items are carefully crafted using traditional techniques to preserve their natural properties and highlight the authenticity of the craftsmanship.
