Glassmaker Preußler Coat-of-arms? (Weissbachtal, Schreiberhau)
« on: October 29, 2023, 03:51:14 PM »
Tin plate, diameter ca. 30 cm, found ca. 2010 in Weissbachtal (Biała Dolina), Schreiberhau (Szklarska Poręba), near the Preußler glassworks' former grinding mill. (The glassworks founded 1617 by Wolfgang Preußler from Vitkowitz, Bohemia. This version of the coat-of-arms seems to be described here: https://jbc.jelenia-gora.pl/Content/36120/36639-Preusler-Otto-NBM.PDF, p. 21 (see also notes 88 and 90):

"Dasselbe Wappen, jedoch mit kleinen Abweichungen, befindet sich auch noch auf mehreren Gläsern, welche im Besitz des Universitätsprofessors Herrn Dr. Carl Partsch in Breslau und der Frau Hüttendirektor Pohl in Schreiberhau sind. Letztere besitzt ein Glas, auf welchem dem Wappen der rote Adlerorden angehängt ist; dasselbe stammt also aus dem Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts, da dem letzten Glasmeister Christian Benjamin Preusler seitens des Königs diese Auszeichnung verliehen worden war."

Has anyone ever seen a Schreiberhau glass with this coat-of-arms? Or does anyone know when exactly Christian Benjamin was awarded the Red Eagle Order?
