Medieval glasses: Dropped in the toilet As letter types decreased in size, glasses came into use, likely in the 13th century. These were usually clip-on models without support behind the ears. This is a pair of 14th-century glasses. These glasses were excavated from a medieval toilet in the Augustinian monastic house in Freiburg, Germany.
