Thank you for the new thread, Rene!
I think this subject can provide some relevant information.
I agree that the simple cylindrical containers are reasonably close to the wooden examples of the German site, and I think that examining the visual sources they link will be helpful. If I understand correctly, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is the 1250 Freiburg Magdalena. Of course, Saint Magdalena is a good source for the iconography of small vases!
In my opinion, also the more complex Voynich containers are relevant. It is possible that they are an invention of the illustrator, but they seem to me too complex to have been created without actual models. Anyway, I am not aware of good parallels. I hope that this thread will allow us to collect some.
