Topic: Enamelled glass Wager Cup

[glassobsessed]

Don't think I had ever heard of a Wager Cup before today. The odd connotation comes to mind and somebody definitely gets the short end of the stick in terms of volume...

She is just over 10cm tall so pretty small, the little glass over her head is tiny. Both glasses rims are gilded but not much remains on the 'base'.

These three by Fritz Heckert are all bigger and look to be of a higher quality I reckon:

Scroll to the bottom for this one:

There is another mention of one on the board but no image of it remains.

Jodhpur, Josephinenhutte I think?  I'm always curious about how 'naive' the transparent enamelling looks on these though.

Wow, they both have little etched flowers on the blue bands, just noticed that the criss cross lines on this wager cup are etched too. Not sure the style fits with Jodhpur, maybe a more European influence?

This one has the same engraved lines on the 'flowers', a good match with the gilded zig zag lines too:

I take a bow

Much applause, a fanfare wouldn't be amiss either.

Once part of a matching set maybe?

  You've certainly cheered me up and provided some much needed distraction for a wee while with all this glass excitement AND a new sort of thingy I'd never heard of, on top.

Do you find it a little odd? The whole wager cup thing/ritual I mean. As it happens it was a gift and was a surprise in and of itself, the speed with which m was able to identify it was a bit of a shock too. The initial post was as much show and tell as a request for help - seems I was in two minds then!
