if anyone has any ideas on this please let me know. i also have a glass, same decorations, it is like a miniature wine glass.
might be made by the glassmaker moser -- time would fit if is was your great great grandmothers -- he did the bohemian glass pieces in this style -- very ornate and yours looks to have heavy gilding

does it have any stickers on it?
