A simple question; but I'm not sure the answer will be.

What are the characteristics of a stoneware Rhine wineglass? And is this one?

Bi-coloured stemmed wine glass (ruby/red cut to clear); five clear panels. 12.5 cm high. Rings at the flick of a fingernail. Centre of stem imprinted 'France'. Anything else of interest. Is it worth anything? I have 13 of them in perfect condition. Some suggest that it could be Baccarat; but no mark visible, although, apparently, they were not marked until after 1936. Photo 2 is a 1910 to 1930 CRISTAL BACCARAT HARCOURT VERRE A VIN DU RHIN ROEMER ROUGE

Many thanks any guidance you can give. This is mine:



And this is my dream glass:

Regarding your first sentence of this post. Stoneware is baked clay aka fired in a kiln.

You are showing pictures of red cut to clear glass. Glass is made from melted sand.

From the way you posed the question I wasn't sure if you know the difference between pottery and glass. Just trying to be helpful not snarky in any way.

 

Thank you @TallCakes, you've shattered my dreams after only 12 hours.

 

I suppose I was really asking about the use of the word 'Rhine' wineglass. But I confused the question by saying 'stoneware' instead of 'stemware'. So thanks for your response. I assume that in 1970 when this range was started the cutting was done by machine!

 

I'd only add that when you get a moulded France mark it's almost always one of the Durand brands.

 

That's really good information, thank you.

 

You're very welcome.

 

As I remember, having lived in Germany and drank Rhine and Mosel wines, Rhine wine glasses have an amber-colored stem and bottle. BTW: Mosel glasses have a rich green stem...as do the bottles. Also, the shape is very different.

 

Thank you, that's good to know.

 

I brought 12 of each back but have not used them in years. Google "roemer glass" and you will see many examples. I regret not collecting the antique German wine glasses for they are splendid. Forget about buying a set, but the singles are often very reasonably priced.

 

Roehmers/rummers are great for slurping a nice cold Moselle or Bernkastel. Or a Luxembourg wine if you can find it.

 

This post brought back many good memories of late nights with good friends and German wines. Dang! I didn't know Luxembourg was large enough to have vineyards. Roemers in Germany and rummers in the Netherlands, as I remember.
