This set of six Victorian Bohemian wine glasses dates to c1900 in the classic English Country house style. Made from amber glass, each piece takes the form of a cupped bowl resting upon a hollow stem adorned with applied raspberry prunts, all supported by a wide conical foot. The bowls display wheel-engraved floral decoration showing delicate leaf and flower garlands, while the thick stems incorporate textured prunts and the circular bases form smooth, rounded spreads that mirror the warm translucent orange-brown tone throughout. Standing 12.2 cm high, these tabletop vessels suit display upon a sideboard top or as functional stemware during formal dining occasions.

FAQs

A roemer, or rummer, is a traditional style of wine glass originating in Central Europe, recognised by its hollow or prunted stem, rounded bowl, and wide flared base.

These glasses were hand-blown using potash glass coloured with metallic oxides to achieve amber tones, finished with hand-applied glass prunts and copper wheel-engraved motifs.

Authentic examples exhibit hand-applied stem prunts, ground or polished pontil marks on the base, minor variations in glass thickness, and crisp wheel-cut decoration rather than modern acid etching.

Display them as a complete set along a dining table centrepiece, arranged on a timber sideboard top, or backlit within a glass cabinet to emphasize the amber hue.

Hand wash each glass individually in lukewarm water using mild liquid soap, avoiding hot water to prevent thermal shock, and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
