This is a super rare "Colonial" tumbler , (aka "Biedermier") produced as a souvenir of "Nordernen" (Germany, Bohemia?) in 1843 , as etched in the front panel. "Nordernen, 1843" is etched/cut into the front top panel. Four other panels are cut/engraved in the top part of the glass: Dog sitting on box "Treue" Violin and horn, with music "Froyrina?" (?? not sure of spelling) Snake around pole (medical Caddeusus), "Gesundheit" Cornucopia & shock of grain, "und Gluck"
I think this translates, "loyalty", "happiness" (or joy), "Good health" and "Good Luck" (or Good fortune). Similar tumbler is shown on page 15 of Tom Bredehoft's book, "Glass Tumblers, 1860s to 1920s)". He refers to this type as "Colonial". Quoting from the book, "before the pressing of glass, it was common practice to embellish blown glass by cutting flutes on the sides of pieces. . .". Bredehoft says this was also known as Biedermier style and was manufactured in Bohemia from 1840-1845. 4 3/8" tall with a diameter of 3 3/8". Ground and polished bottom. Condition is excellent for its age. A few light scratches in the upper part. Small scuff in the Nordernen area, just above the panels. Few very minor light dings & t in the angled panel edges, consistent with age. NO CHIPS OR CRACKS. Very difficult to photograph, but please take a look at each photo. Bars of discoloration are photo reflections, NOT damage. Email with questions or need to see additional photos. Bredehoft books this piece (in canary) at $225 - $300 . Red is not mentioned as a color, so I'm guessing this could be a fairly scarce piece. I'm asking $125.00 opening bid, no reserve. Buyer to pay shipping and insurance. Never a bogus handling charge & always happy to combine multiple orders to save on shipping. Lightweight items are usually sent very economically by First Class mail. Breakable items will always need insurance, unless you choose to forego. Delivery Confirmation charge of 60 cents ensures we can track lost/delayed items. I describe all items to the best of my ability; if I make a mistake, I'll do my best to rectify it if you notify me BEFORE LEAVING FEEDBACK. Please allow time for personal check to clear (7-10 days) or send mo ney order/cashier's check for quick shipping. Sorry, NO PAYPAL at this time . Please be sure payment reaches me within 10 days of auction close. I reserve the right to cancel and/or refuse bids from bidders with excessive negative feedback. Overseas bidders must send a money order that also has the amount encoded (not just hand written). Or a bank draft/cashier's check
