The popular Kuttrolf
'The Gutter is a bottle with a round belly and a long, narrow neck that widens into a drinking bowl', according to the Grimm Brothers' dictionary. Also known as an angster, the Kuttrolf is a drinking bottle with an onion-shaped belly that was popular in the Middle Ages.
The special feature of the design is the twisted neck, which consists of several tubes and usually has a bowl-shaped spout. The curved neck can be slipped under the belt and allows the drinking vessel to be carried on the man at all times. Drinking from the Kuttrolf produces a loud gurgling noise.

The Kuttrolf as a historical legacy
The name Kuttrolf or Kutt(e)rolf is derived from the Latin 'guttur' for throat. The Kuttrolf was first mentioned in DE in 1220, when the epic poem by Willehalm referred to it as 'gutteral' for wine. Illustrations of the vessel are known from wood engravings by Leonhard Beck and Dürer's pupil Hans Weidnitz. The shape of the vessel originated in Syria and was used in antiquity as an essence and perfume bottle. This traditional function remained until the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
The manufacturing technique of the Kuttrolf is documented in Cologne in the 3rd and 4th centuries. The main area of distribution of the multi-tubed drinking vessel was in the Middle and Upper Rhine region and in northern Germany. Due to its popularity, a restriction on the production of Angsters was imposed in the Spessart region in 1406. A glazier working alone was not allowed to make more than 100 Kuttrolfs a day and a glazier with an assistant was not allowed to make more than 200.
