Featured Small frosted glass jug

Hi all,

Anyone have any info about this type of small glass jug ?I picked it up a while ago as it cought my eye.

It measures 4 inches in height approx.

Thank you for any coments.

 

Old glass decorated with 925 silver and amber. (Bernstein is tree stone, the German word for amber.)

that’s a summary, the rest of the description is puffery.

 

Thanks so much.
never thought of looking for a stamp but there are two mniscule stamps on the stem one which under magnifing loop i think is a G beside a crown.and within this stamp underneath is a word which i cant read bt think is not english.
the other stamp beside this reads i think H N .
Ive been trying to get a photo of them but there so small its proving very difficult.may be easier in daylight

 

Been trying to get a clear photo of the markings.these are the best i can get at the moment.sorry but they may be no help at all i can try in daylight tomorrow.

 

Am fairly sure now after magnifing under light and comparing polish silver marks, the first stamp is a Gdansk in Poland 925 Silver stamp with womans head not a crown as i first thought.

I wonder might the glass have been made in the same area in Poland then.

Am off to bed now nearly 2am here.will look again in daylight tomorrow.

Thanks for all the help and direction

 

Glass might be someone like LSA Krosno.

 

Yes, the style of the silver and amber decoration is typically Polish. They revived that Art Nouveau style and are still making similar AN style pieces.

 

Bernstein means burn stone, because in Antiquity people used to burn it for its nice scent. Burning amber for a visitor was a sign of respect, much like incense in the Middle East.

(Tree stone would be Baumstein in German.)
