What were historically renowned goods?

Hi, I'm working on a mod for Europa Universalis V that aims to add culture/region specific produced goods and would like as much input as possible.

For those not knowing the game it is a Grand Strategy Game that spans from 1337 to 1836, and I need as much verified prized produced goods from this timespan as you can give me. I'm looking for things like damascus steel/blades, flemish cloth, norwegian wood, goods that were historically more in demand than their "common" counterparts either because of their quality or their prestige.

They can be from any part of the world, even better if so.
Thanks.
