I know this, I supect you're too young. It's for guessing football pool results.
It's got an umlaut.
Thanks folks. It's actually a lot bigger and heavier than a tumbler, more of a large vase. I shall go investigate Bischoff.
I don't think the scavo are glass - have a look at that flaw on one of them. You may well be right on the second one being chalcedony or similar....
