I do love a bit of old glass & have got a few myself.
Love yours with the grapes ;-))
Hello,
Joseph Hinsinger is an ancestor of my immediate family. He was born in 1695 and died in 1760 and was the husband of
Elisabeth Engel. Indeed this glass is part of his work. And those glasses disappeared from our family, I'm not sure why. Would it be on sale? If so, I would be very interested in offering it to my father.
Thanks in advance for your answer
