They may show up under rummers / roemers rather than hock glasses. My son collects them but he doesn't have any as lovely as these. This is a good place to start looking: http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/

oooooo thank you Anne
-
looking to poss be Theresienthal at the moment but still scouring lol
-
mmmmmm they are also looking very Fritz Heckert too
-
Both is not impossible, as Heckert started off as a decorator before becoming a decorator and a manufacturer, and eventually took over the company where most of its blanks came from
-
finding lots with very similar work but nothing with a fruit design on
-
Perhaps Stephan can help... I'll drop him a line and ask if he'll look in.

ooooooooooooooo thank you Anne

Hello,
these "Hock Glasses" or "Roemers" were made by Fritz Heckert around 1890. I have a foto of one of these items with same (identical) strawberry decoration and with signature of Fritz Heckert (F.H. ....)
Kind regards
Stephan

ooooooooooooooo wicked thanks Stephan, where would I likely find a signature, only have one in front of me and had a good look around the bowl too but nothing
-
Stephan, thanks for responding :thup: that sounds exciting. :)

When there`s a signature it is to be found on the rim of the foot.
Kind regards

-
Unfortunately no one knows by now what the number wants to tell us but F.H. stands for Fritz Heckert.
I am glad that i was able to help!
Kind regards

Thanks so much again Stephan, cannot believe the stupendous condition of these, they are in mint condition, they must have been stored somewhere for a long time to stay in such lovely condition. Now I have to decide whether to hold onto them or part with them, as being self employed, it's been a difficult year this year keeping one's head above water to pay the bills :D

Stephan, don't know whether it's the done thing on here or whether you would be at liberty to divulge, but would you per chance have an idea of value on these glasses please
