This is a vase that was sitting at SA for 3 months..at the boutique store......
I thought to rescue the vase ...
Special thanks to Warren and getthatmonkeyoutofme, they solved the riddle...many thanks to also Sean for helping me read :0...
There is a word on the bottom of the last picture , beautiful!!
it is German !!!!!
I think it's probably newer - transfer printed after older designs. In the last photo, what is the word printed underneath the snowflake near the bottom?
Warren, the name is Hoffenhauser....I think?
it doesn't say that , I can clearly see what it says >
Sean, Herrenhauser?
Yes!!!!!
LMAO!!!!!!!
Got it- Herrenhäuser Brewery - it's a beer glass. Again, I think it isn't very old - just made in the old style, perhaps as an advertising piece or bar glass.

Herrenhäuser
OK...you German is not my strong point. Thank you!! So is the vase a nice one or not?
V. D. M. I. A. E. is the close form for verbum dei manet in aeternum which means the word of god endureth for ever...
getthatmonkeyoutome, wow! Thank you...very cool! I was staring at the vase for months...I was drawn to the letters somehow.
haven't seen the herrenhäuser.... sorry
it's from hannover lower saxony
not one of my favourite beers
Warren, thank you for giving me the your opinion on that this was a new or reproduction of an older piece...many thanks
i found the information that it is supposed to be from collectors edition circa 1975-1978
getthatmonkeyoutofme, I am interested....
getthatmonkeyoutofme, so is the vase from that time period?
seems to be... it's a reproduction of an old glass with an heraldic coat of arms
would need a little to find the owner of it
getthatmonkeyoutofme, thank you..now I know why it was sitting at SA for that long..well I paid $3.50 for it.... :)
and here you can search for the coat of arms for free ;-)
