Hello everyone. Got a couple of items that I need some help on. One is a liquor glass with a vasaline base and the other is a great big blob of glass that floresces bright green under a black light. The base of the blob/vase has a round indented bottom, very smooth, no pontil marks.

I wonder if that glass might be a genuine old, um, glass thing. My memory has failed me again.

Hock glass.
Has it got a pontil?
-
Hock? These are Roemers, or Rummers, standard German white wine glasses. Twenties or thirties, I'd guess, and quite useful if you have a set of 4 or 6.
-
No the hock glass does not have a pontil, its hollow up to the top. The Heckert piece does look like cousins, but not an exact match. I was thinking it was probably American. But stranger things have happened that I would keep an open mind to just about anything.
-
Wine glasses??? Holy Mosses, they sure didn't drink much wine back then, did they. My wine glass today holds thrice that of the rummer. I only have one, too bad.
-
Rummers (roemers) come in a whole range of sizes Nancy :) Part of my son's collection... which ranges from tiny liqueur size ones to huge ones that hold almost a third of a bottle of wine! http://www.yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/thumbnails.php?album=42

Now that's what I'm talking about, need to get me a rummer that will hold a 3rd of a bottle. Saves trips to the refrigerator!!!! :lol:
Thanks Anne.

Someone sells wine glasses that hold a whole bottle too Nancy (they're not rummers though)... now those do save your legs but probably make you legless! :lol:
