Exhibit Antiques has dated this Antique Engraved Schnapps Glass to the 1900s.
An exceptional example of a Josephinenhutte engraved Schnapps glass.
Sits on a thick double series opaque twist stem consisting of a pair of 9-ply spiral bands outside a multiply corkscrew, Solid foot with a polished pontil.
The form is often referred to a 'Witches Ball Holder'...which does sound rather exotic but I'm afraid is completely fanciful. Based on its origin, manufacturing date and bowl size it was almost certainly manufactured as a Schnapps glass but could be used for any spirit today. A good size and very fine engraving.
