    I recently acquired a number of 1700-early 1800s wine glasses. There's a sticker on the base of this one that says "non Lead" " 8-si????d" "Silesian Stem (missing date) 1730. It's 6 1/4" tall and is etched and has script around the bowl which I cannot make out - looks like early German? Possibly "Dem Der Fomyhet" but I'm not sure. Can anyone help? I had a hard time photographing the words.
    Thanks for any help! Janice

    I don't read or speak German but if it might say "dem der fomyllet", Google translates that as "those who were born". If it's a correct translation, that might make some sort of toast?

    Hi, not etched but engraved, wheel cut :)
