Imperial glasses & decanters – festive culture under Wilhelm II.

The glasses and decanters owned by Kaiser Wilhelm II reflect the diversity and splendor of imperial festive culture. From simple water glasses for everyday use to engraved crystal goblets for state banquets, each piece was crafted for a specific occasion. Of particular note are the glasses designed to mark the 200th birthday of Frederick the Great : with the gold-decorated "FR" monogram, a star-cut base, and a baroque design.

Typical features:

• Monograms “WR” and “FR” under Prussian crown

• Crystal glass with cut decoration , lip rim and base star

• Carafes and goblets for anniversaries, receptions and tables

• Origin from Josephinenhütte , Theresienthal and other court suppliers

These glasses are now sought-after collector's items and document the representative splendor of the Hohenzollern dynasty.
