So much to unpack with these delightful little wine glasses and plenty of mystery. Let us start with what we know and we shall build from here: what is a Römer, or a Rummer, or even a Roemer? Simply put, a glass for drinking the wine of the fabulous German river valleys, the Moselle (or in German, Moseltal) and of course, the ever-famous, Rhineland. They origins are quite dusty, as the glasses show up in paintings from as early as the 16th century- though, considering how old wine (and all her various methods of consumption) is, these feisty little coiled stem glasses might be even older. Several glass factories have been unearthed in Northern Germany, of Roman invention.

Traditionally, the key parts that signal the type of glass are as follows: green, thick coiled stem, curvacious little goblet bowl, complete with little k***s called 'prunts'. These prunts are for grip, as one probably needs for wine tasting in Germany.

In the 19th century, several talented glassmakers in the Sudetenland (native German-speakers living within the borders of the current Czech Republic, which in the interwar period was referred to as the Sudetenland- thanks Wiki Baby). These artists were using ancient techniques and styles to bring about a resurgance to regional glassmaking, which included crafting Römers for the new age. Suddenly the historically simple thick green glasses had a colorful new family to belong to- and not just lustres (the orange hue the for-sale glasses boast is from a firing step where color is added) but paints and gold designs as well. Probably most famous in today's world, the Josephinenhütte glassmakers created sophisticated bevy cups for the world wide- and they're still producing extremely beautiful wine glasses today for the wealthy.
