Hi all,I bought this glass with a lot of Victorian glass because liked it so much,the writing makes me feel it's bohemian,always been quick like that ,it reminds me of Roy glass he posted earlier last week,but I could be wrong,any thoughts many thanks.

Thanks Sue,I'm working in a flat that has just had every room white undercoated with large windows,it took a while to find the best light without the flash coming on..I won't bore you with the crude comments from my fellow tradesmen...

errhhm, what does the writing say please? 
is the engraving of an arm holding flowers?  is it an 'in memory' type glass?

Sorry,I think the hand is holding a heart shaped apple,or a big strawberry or a turnip.

umm, I'm useless at these but maybe

unter diesen aller gast wir dieses gefallen

among these we all hospitable like this ??

Or something like that...

 
presumably raising a toast - a sort of friendship thing maybe?

While I personally prefer the turnip theory, it looks rather like the "Scared heart" symbol - a bit of a dead person with flames coming out of it, much loved by some religious groups.
