Name for a drinking vessel that was already used in late antiquity for drinking wine or as a showpiece. The name is derived from the Italian "boccale". A goblet-like bowl is set on the projecting base, which is fitted with a hinged lid on more valuable pieces. Goblets were made of many materials such as wood, clay, glass and metal. Particularly precious pieces were made of gold and silver, decorated with reliefs and paintings, and adorned with precious stones, mirror fragments and pearls. See also under .

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
