Hi,
On Saturday I purchased these 2 wine glasses from a charity stall at a local market.
The lady told me that they were donated by a lady whose husband had collected glasses and she told me they were old.
Please can anyone identify the maker as I have had a look on the internet and cannot find anything like them - new or old.
The green stemmed glass measures approximately 21.4 cms tall and the clear stemmed glass measures approximately 21 cms tall.
Both have 4 coloured dots on the bowl. The glass with the green coloured dots has wheel cut decoration around the dots.
Many thanks

Hi, the photos are not very clear and too small, could you post better ones? From what I can see your glasses remind me of Art Nouveau glasses from Germany, but maybe they were made elsewhere too in these sjapes and decorations? Maybe others can say more...

Hi Mat,
Thanks for the information.
I find it difficult on this website to up-load pictures with any great detail.
What I can tell you describing the glasses is that the clear stem glass has a nearly flat foot with a slight bobble protrusion of glass at the base of the stem whereas the green stemmed glass has a pushed up base about an 1 1/2 inch tall so that when you look at it, it looks like the end of a trumpet. The coloured dots on the same glass are almost like an amber / red colour.
I hope this information may be of some help?
Many thanks

The first one that springs to mind is Poschinger.

I have a different maker in mind - but please could you post clear close up photos of the decoration and the bowl of the glasses?
The photo detail cannot be seen as they are unfortunately
many thanks :)

Hi Jazzy,
You said: I find it difficult on this website to up-load pictures with any great detail.
You are not alone with this, but we have given some general guidance in the Help & Announcements section - see TECHIE TIPS: Resizing images to fit the board (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,34093.msg154302.html#msg154302)
I added an update to that info to say that http://www.picresize.com/ is an easy to use and very effective online image resizer. It permits cropping as well as general resizing and will produce small Kb images even when the image longest size is around 700/800 pixels.

Köln Ehrenfeld?

no, I was thinking Jean Beck for Regenhutte?

Actually Ivo, glass no 2 is in question it seems (green dots glass)
I found this under Theresienthal - it seem some with dots might be wrongly identified as Jean Beck on online sites?
http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/stengelglaesernach1903.html
and are in fact in the Theresienthal catalogue depending on the design of the cutting?
Have I understood that correctly?
If so, that could make it Theresienthal for glass number 2 green dots.
However looking at the stem shape, OP's stem for number 1 is identical to another Theresienthal glass as shown in that link.
So possibly Theresienthal then for green dots depending on cutting.
Edited to add - the one here with the red dots appears to be the identical shape bowl and stem to OP's green dot glass

It also helps if you crop you pictures before resizing so we have more glass and less background

Probability is on the rise. Well done!

This one? http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/st52.jpg

yes, thank you Christine. I never know how to get it to show the exact piece rather than the whole page.

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you to everyone who helped identify the glass with the green dots.
I think I have identified the one with the red dots as a Koloman Moser design glass - early 1900's as I google'd images of Austrian Art Nouveau wine glasses and a picture of 3 identical glasses but in a different colour way came up.
As wine glasses are not my thing, these are now listed on Ebay in auction at 99p first bid and hope a wine glass collector gets a bargain!
Thanks to all once again :)

hi, now you have an id for your glasses would it be possible to upload clear pictures of the glasses please for future reference.
The ones you used on Ebay should work well.
Thanks :)

Hi,
Unfortunately, these were the photo's I tried to up-load but they are too big (as in MB not KB as GMB allows) :(
I do crop etc but still can't get to the correct size.

Could you reduce them using pixels so by pixels it should measures 600 x 400 and that should work perfectly :)
thank you
if you are using windows live go to file and click open with Paint and that will allow you to resize using pixels
I can't help with other systems unless you are using Irfan view.
It would be appreciated - many thanks :)

Hi,
Thank you for that info - tried it so hopefully these will be better - please let me know :)
J

thank you so much for hanging in there and posting them :)
We really appreciate it.
It can be enormously frustrating to come across and old thread and discover that all the info and id is there and the picture either isn't or is not visible

Hi,
Thanks very much for telling me how to photo these items for the GMB. I was in the past reluctant to use it due to the difficulty I had of up-loading pictures. Hopefully that's a thing of the past. :)
This pair of glasses were donated to a charity stall by a lady whose husband used to collect wine glasses so we thought they may be of some merit.
Myself and my partner have collected all sorts of glass for the past 10-15 years and have many bits lying around that we have really no idea who could have made them although we may be able to guess at a country of origin. Maybe now we will be able to upload a few more requests for help :) and let the more knowledgeable people have a look to see if they have any ideas.
Once again, many many thanks!
