Antique Bohemian Crystal Wedding Roemer With Prunts

Antique Bohemian crystal from the mid 18th to early 19th century.  German style rhine wine goblets like this are called Roemers or Rummer. Exceptionally well made. Hand blown and engraved with a garland swag of detailed little roses. The ultra-marine green ringed conical crystal stem is applied to the engraved crystal bowl. The base of the stem is polished flat. The neck of the stem is decorated with 3 applied hand-made floral glass prunts. The rim of the bowl is also hand polished.

Roemer style wine goblets date way, way back in time. Original forms were made with German ‘Forest’ glass, a greenish, yellowish brown color resulting from the area’s wood and locally harvested glass ingredients. The beautiful deep, dark ultramarine color of the stem, the fine quality of the blown glass (produces a nice ‘ting’ when plinked), and the intricate rose etching suggest it was made for a special event like a wedding.

In excellent condition with fine lines of age related bottom-wear on the base ring. Stands 5½” tall.
