    2307.1 German Glass Goblet & Glass.JPG 2307.2 German Glass Goblet & Glass.JPG 2307.3 German Glass Goblet & Glass.JPG 2307.4 German Glass Goblet & Glass.JPG Has anyone seen drinking glasses like these? They come from my great aunt's house. She died a few decades ago and we are baffled as to what to call them and if they could be from 1795, which is a number written on them.

    Here is how I describe them: 5 3/4" High German Handblown Glass Goblet with Wood Base; "Alles mit Lust" translated to "Everything you want"; 4 1/2" High German Handblown Glass; "An gottes fegen ist alles gelegen" translated to "Everything is in order for God's sweep"; both dated 1795

    An Gottes Segen
    ist alles gelegen.
    Psalm 127
    meaning that everything you do needs the blessing of God to succeed.

    to say anything about age is hard with these pictures. the left one could be a Schnapsglas from the Alps.

    I suspect these are later copies, mid to late 19th. Nice ones.

    I've never seen a wooden base on a wine glass before. After-market anti-tipping device, perhaps?

    You should quick patent the "built-in coaster" idea!!! You'll make a fortune.
