Featured Clear Glass Urn ?

Looking some info on this piece of clear cut glass with an inscription on the front reading Aus Dantbanteil I think it spells not sure of the t , any help always appreciated thank you.Size is around 8 inches.

 

Looks like it reads “aus dankbarkeit”, out of gratitude.

 

Check out Biedermeier style. 1830-1850 Germany.

Every exterior surface on that piece was cut and polished by hand.

Edit: correct typo

 

Thank you for the information much appreciated , I picked it up this morning out of curiousity as it looked so clear and decorative thanks again.

 

Certainly is a lovely thing. It looks like it is supposed to be opened often with that large handle (?) on the top. I see wrapped candies rather than decorative, but I am sadly lacking in knowing anything about such things. I just wanted to compliment your eye.

 

I was thinking candy too (remember sour balls?). BWDIK.
It is pretty.

 

Lovely.....Good Eye, Brubaker50!!!

 

To think I wasn’t sure and had to go back to buy it , must remember if in doubt I can always feel regret later .

 

Ah, the missed opportunities in life are many. Glad you were able to go back and get this.

To get your attention,

I have a similar piece, includes the phrase
"ädder Freundshaft" I understand Friendship
I can't find a translation for the first word, "ädder" the third letter is not d, not known to me.

The engraving starts with Aus, then that line, then the names of five Herren. Its dated 1857.

 

Thank you will try to find out if they were made for some specific purpose with engravings of sayings like temperance movement maybe.

 

I found the engraving on my glass in a google document looked like a German Temperance article in a paper or the paper was produced by the temperance movement.

 

Just found out it might be a Pokal lots of similar covered glasses came up and there was one clear one with German engraving on it sold on worthpoint which is very close to mine.
