It's several months since this thread has had any posts, so I thought I would add one...
Arbarellos have the same basic shape as some of the VMS containers, but they are much larger. The VMS containers (the tube-like ones) appear to be smaller if the embellishments give any sense of scale, so here are some containers with a tube-like shape that are smaller, on a physician's tray. I don't think they have feet, that appears to be an illusion from the pigment chipping away:

They're the same shape as some of the ones Koen posted in Post #94 but these ones give a sense of scale (maybe... you can't always trust scale in medieval drawings since size also denotes importance rather than actual size).
