FAQs

A roemer, or romer, is a traditional style of wine glass originating in the Rhineland and Netherlands during the Renaissance and remaining popular through the eighteenth century. They typically feature a wide cupped bowl, a cylindrical hollow stem embellished with applied prunts, and a conical threaded or coiled foot base.

These glasses were mouth-blown using potash or soda glass, often tinted green or sea-green from iron impurities or intentional colouring agents. Key construction features include hand-applied glass prunts on the hollow stem and a foot created by coiling a continuous glass trail around a conical core.

Authentic eighteenth-century roemers display characteristic signs of period hand-crafting, including a polished or rough pontil mark beneath the base, subtle asymmetries, and tiny trapped air bubbles. The applied stem prunts and coiled foot show uneven spacing typical of manual glassblowing techniques of the era.

Small decorative glassware like a roemer can be displayed on a lighted glass-fronted cabinet shelf, a sideboard tray, or an open bookshelf where natural light highlights the translucency and green tint of the glass. Displaying it alongside contemporary ceramics or dark wood backgrounds offers a contrast in texture.

Historic glass should be washed gently by hand in lukewarm water using mild dish soap, avoiding extreme temperature fluctuations that can cause thermal shock. Never place antique glass in a dishwasher, and dry immediately with a lint-free soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
