17th century roemer - 13.0 cm - Glass

Wonderful late 17th century rummer (dated to the fourth quarter of the 17th century). The chalice or cuppa has minimal/minuscule air bubbles, so-called ‘seeds’ and a sort of ‘haze’ in the chalice. Continuous ‘open’ to the stem ( a so-called ‘runner’). Ribbed glass thread below the chalice. The stem is fully decorated with the so characteristic and special ‘bramble’ nodes. Take note: the story is that these ‘brambles’ supplied grip during the meal, as at the time people only used a knife while eating and the fingers would become greasy. The nodes were impressed with a pipe earthenware stamp. The foot with circular glass threads (applied on a wooden bobbin) and the so typical squeezed-off pontil (last contact with the glass pipe) were pushed inwards on the stem. The glass is light as a feather (soda mix). Feeling it is a sensation by itself. The glass is 100% intact. It is 13 cm tall. The glass will be extremely carefully packaged in bubble plastic and placed in a very sturdy cardboard box and shipped with insurance and registration.
