FREE: Vintage Römer: German Cordial/Shot Glass

The listing, Vintage Römer: German Cordial/Shot Glass has ended.

A Römer Gass is a wine glass with a green stem that looks coiled, topped by a clear bowl. Often the bowl is etched with vines or grapes, and sometimes the glass rim is gold.They are called Römer as a tribute to the Romans, who brought the wine grapes to Germany in the 4th century. The green stem comes from the potash and sand from the forest, called “forest glass”. It's solid, not hollow!

This auction is for a vintage CORDIAL Römer, a souvenir from Germany. A cordial glass is a smaller glass designed for sweet dessert wine or liqueur. Or take shots from it, if you prefer stronger drinks. ;-)
It's got the typical green stem with two thin bands of gold. The bowl is gold plated with etchings of grapes and leaves. There's writing, also in gold, along the rim calling to mind the location in Germany where the glass was bought.
