Please help me identify the glass in the photo. It was a wedding gift to a family member and I broke one. It has a stamp/impression on the foot.

Can you describe the stamp/impression on the foot? Perhaps a photo of it? The glass is called a rummer in English.

If you click on the photo to enlarge it, you should be able to see a crown impression on the foot. It also seems to fall into a category of "kings crown goblets" when I did an image search. But no idea who the maker is yet.
I think that is a Theresienthal mark.

The etching may be different, which is probably just an indicator of age run, and the foot is darker maybe.
Yup, you're right - it's circa 1980. How on earth will I replace this!?
