The symbol on the label is the alchemist sign for glass and has been used by many manufacturers.

Not sure which glassmaker this should be attributed to, but I have a feeling these people might put you on the right track:

Good luck!

I don't hink there is a book covering all German glassmakers including the smaller, the lesser know and the extinct makers. It is not well documented at all - partly because many archives did not survive. Some German helps in deciphering half lost labels - and is essential in searching German websites. It is not something I can change.

Could you add pictures of it taken against a white background please?  it looks as though it might be coloured glass but it's impossible to tell against a black background :)
Thanks
