[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 9433944, member: 12382"]I've yesterday decided to splash out on an etched wine glass, which should be arriving within the next few days. Although my knowledge of wine glasses is virtually nil, the decorative work, in my humble opinion, seems to be of quite decent quality. The glass is quite attractive - and it was pretty cheap! It stands c. 20cm high and bears a rhyme (in German) on the reverse. I'm aware that there is a lot of modern and vintage 'antique-style' quality glass around from the Czech Republic and other areas in Europe. I'd be grateful to learn if the experts amongst you might be able to suggest if this piece is indeed old (19th century ?) or a more recently produced better-quality item made in the style of an antique. Any help will be appreciated !
