Topic: Mystery Wine Glasses

[Jazzy64]

Hi,

On Saturday I purchased these 2 wine glasses from a charity stall at a local market.

The lady told me that they were donated by a lady whose husband had collected glasses and she told me they were old.

Please can anyone identify the maker as I have had a look on the internet and cannot find anything like them - new or old.

The green stemmed glass measures approximately 21.4 cms tall and the clear stemmed glass measures approximately 21 cms tall.

Both have 4 coloured dots on the bowl.  The glass with the green coloured dots has wheel cut decoration around the dots.

Many thanks

Hi, the photos are not very clear and too small, could you post better ones? From what I can see your glasses remind me of Art Nouveau glasses from Germany, but maybe they were made elsewhere too in these sjapes and decorations? Maybe others can say more...

Hi Mat,

Thanks for the information.

I find it difficult on this website to up-load pictures with any great detail.

What I can tell you describing the glasses is that the clear stem glass has a nearly flat foot with a slight bobble protrusion of glass at the base of the stem whereas the green stemmed glass has a pushed up base about an 1 1/2 inch tall so that when you look at it, it looks like the end of a trumpet.  The coloured dots on the same glass are almost like an amber / red colour.

I hope this information may be of some help?

Many thanks

The first one that springs to mind is Poschinger.

I have a different maker in mind - but please could you post clear close up photos of the decoration and the bowl of the glasses?
The photo detail cannot be seen as they are unfortunately
many thanks

Hi Jazzy,

You said:

You are not alone with this, but we have given some general guidance in the Help & Announcements section - see TECHIE TIPS: Resizing images to fit the board

I added an update to that info to say that http://www.picresize.com/ is an easy to use and very effective online image resizer. It permits cropping as well as general resizing and will produce small Kb images even when the image longest size is around 700/800 pixels.

Köln Ehrenfeld?

no, I was thinking Jean Beck for Regenhutte?

Actually Ivo, glass no 2 is in question it seems (green dots glass)
I found this under Theresienthal - it seem some with dots might be wrongly identified as Jean Beck on online sites?
http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/stengelglaesernach1903.html
and are in fact in the Theresienthal catalogue depending on the design of the cutting?
Have I understood that correctly?

If so, that could make it Theresienthal for glass number 2 green dots.

However looking at the stem shape, OP's stem for number 1 is identical to another Theresienthal glass as shown in that link.
So possibly Theresienthal then for green dots depending on cutting.
Edited to add - the one here with the red dots appears to be the identical shape bowl and stem to OP's green dot glass

It also helps if you crop you pictures before resizing so we have more glass and less background
