  Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries

  What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods.

In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.
