Whimsical set of seven floral and foliate Röemer cordials, handcrafted in Germany sometime in the mid-20th century. Roemers (Dutch) or Römer (German) are a type of wine and beer glass that evolved in the Rhineland and the Netherlands from the 17th century. They have their roots in the Waldglas particularly the Berkemeyer, Krautstrunk and Nuppenbecher of the later Middle Ages which were produced in northern Germany, the Low Countries and central Europe. The Röemer style glass is still being produced today. The forerunners of the Röemer were made in the 15th century as short beakers with an inverted conical shape bowl attached to an open stem decorated with pulled drops or prunts, these are called Berkemeyers. Over time the glass on these vessels became thinner and the bowls developed into a hemispherical shape on a wider hollow base decorated with pulled or flatten prunts. In the early 16th century, a foot was added formed by a trailed thread wound round a conical core. These beauties’ hand painted crystal bowls rest atop light olive green hollow conical glass ribbed bases. Gold gilt accents overlay the lip of each bowl, upper necks and circular perimeter of each base. Each measures 4” x 3” x 2½” H/W/D; 2¾” lip diameter; 6 oz. capacity apiece; together the set weighs 2 lbs. 3 oz. In excellent condition with minimal wear. Maker unknown. Ready to serve as the perfect sippers for apéritifs and digestifs and turn heads at your next gathering
