I hope you're not assuming that's what people are doing.
When I do searches for container shapes, I search for spice jars, spice bottles, perfume jars, arborello, finials, candelsticks, urns, ormolu (the French containers often have feet), ink bottles, hookahs, and every generic term for container that I can think of and I will often search in five or six different languages.
The same for zodiac symbols, crowns, stars, mermaids, handwriting styles, clothing, plants, or anything else in the VMS.
Not once can I ever remember limiting my search to "medieval German" or to any specific region. The data leads to Lombardy, not the other way around. And that doesn't mean I'm assuming it was created there or by a Lombardian, even when the data leads there, but one can't ignore the data. It's piling up.
