Title: Peter Dreiser Goblet "Red Deers" Label on base
Post by: Cazza on January 28, 2013, 02:46:39 PM

Hi am looking for information on what the label on the base means please.
It reads
Peter Dreiser
Ex RMS  1969
Red Deers
46gns
2
Also signed and dated 69
Its the EX RMS is that to do with military service?

Mmmmm  -  great piece.             As you're no doubt are aware, this is a beautiful wheel engraved rummer, showing a stag hunting scene, and I'd be keen to know what the base looks like  -  which may help with dating  -  although the engraving may not necessarily be of the same date as your glass.          Is this piece lead glass  -  does it ring when flicked?      The colour looks right for some serious age.
The 46gns.  appears to be an auction cost at some earlier time  -  and I'd suggest that the 'EX RMS' is indicating that this has come from a collection owned by somone with those initials  -  I could be wrong, but that I think is certainly one possible explanation.              The figure 2 might suggest that there were a pair originally :)

Hi ,
             Dreiser was a vice-president of the Royal Miniaturists' Society(RMS) and a founder member of the Guild of Glass Engravers.
I would suggest that this is Dreiser's label from when the glass was engraved and the price on it was his price,more than likely the glass was a new production at the time of engraving .

cheers ,
             Peter.
