Topic: A question about roemer glasses! - ID = Theresienthal

[peejyweejy]

Can anyone tell me if any maker made engraved, roemer glasses with prunts, that have apllied metal at the foot of a twisted stem - possibly brass or copper? Or, are they a new invention. Unfortunately, I have no photo!

unfortunately this is a case where photographs are indispensable...

Thanks Ivo...I'll see what I can do, but probably not till Monday, there is one in a collectables shop about 15 miles from where I live, so I will take a trip back early next week.

Got some pics of this roemer - unusual?

[peejyweejy]

...and another couple.

I wonder if this might have been a repair done to the glass where the stem has broken away from the foot?

Hi,
just had the same thought...
It looks like a Römer from Theresienthal, see Stephan Buse´s site (scroll down):
http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/historismusaufl.html
You could try contacting him and ask if there´s any chance they´ve been made in such a way originally.
Personally I doubt it, sorry.

Hi,

your pictures show the roemer number 793, designed by Theresienthal around 1895.
Your item has been broken :cry: and fixed . Theresienthal never made it in such way!!!!

Regards

Thank you, Stephan! I would have been really, really surprised about a different answer.
Great site of yours BTW!  :thup:

I have two of these....do you think they have both been broken and fixed?
