Topic: Set of Hock Glasses - Powell/Whitefriars?

[Beege]

Good evening all.
I have a set of 8 Hock Glasses which I believe to be antiques.
Light brown/gold with a decorative stem of hollow sections. The pontil is rough/sharp. Just over 6" (15.5cm) tall.
I'm aware Powell/Whitefriars produced such glasses in the late 1800s, early 1900s as a response to demand and that these were based upon German originals.
Can anyone please identify (maker/date) the glass in the images?
Thank you for tour help.
Jack.

I'd be more inclined to seach Theresienthal roemers first maybe?

I don't know if the colour and shape are correct for Theresienthal as I've not had a good look but I'd look there first.
If you search on this site, then a link to Theresienthal pages of research by Stephan should come up I think.

ah,this might be link:
There is one on there with a very similar stem, knops and merese etc
but you will have to search all through the site links to see the various glasses and shapes - I've not time to do a full search for you.

Many thanks M, much appreciated.

In fact, yes I'd say that is a remarkably similar stem in terms of formation and design.
I'd say Theresienthal is very likely.  Hope you find a match on there - it takes a good while of searching but it's a fabulous site.

I think I may have found it already M...

The text says "Romans, after a design by Schinkel, colorless glass lustrated, around 1890 19.6 cm high, diameter of the Kuppa 6.5 cm, Kuppa with Weinlaubgravur; three Rosettenuppen on cylindrical central part, which is delimited by a wavy band down, articulated Hohlbalusterschaft with four disc modes; Scheibenfuß;"

This make sense?

and the image is as follows...

It does. However the bowl on that looks slightly shorter than the bowl on yours and the merese on yours look to be slightly 'thicker' less refined/slim.
But without seeing yours side on, properly side on, it's difficult to compare.
Can we see a side on of yours? 

I'm just wondering if yours might be slightly later or something.

Is yours lustred btw?
I think yours must be Theresienthal, I just wonder if it's a more recent (than the one shown there) edition, if they did repeat designs over the years.

Good morning M
I can see what you mean with regards to possibly being less refined.
The glass is clear, so I suspect this means it is not lustred.
I have attached another image to help clarify the size/shape bowl. I also recognise that my glasses are just over 15.5cm tall and therefore shorter than the example I have posted. Whether this means it is earlier or later to the example is possibly the question to try and fathom and maybe I need to keep searching the catalogue.

Right, thanks.  There are differences: the bowl shape; the bottom part of the stem above the merese joining the stem to the foot; but basically that is the same design of glass and a very similar colour.  I think it's Theresienthal but just a different shape glass.

Others do come up with that bowl shape.

So, it might be worth doing some research on the site to find one with a similar bowl shape.  Always worth doing research because it throws up some amazing information useful for memorising for future purchases. 
If you do find one bingo.  If not I would, after some research, contact Stephan to see if he will verify it for you.
