Condition Notes

The bowl of one of the four glasses (.4) broke off from the base and has now been reglued.  Another rummer (.1) has flakes in along a bottom edge.

Comments

Rummers were drinking glasses, typically on a base or foot and having a very short stem.  These four rummers have blown glass bowls cut in a strawberry diamond pattern, below which the bowls have cut facets.  A disk or wafer provides attachment of the bowl to the stem.
