    Today I enjoyed this cold and rainy day with Paris1925 tour the Museum of Nancy and in one of the pictures it is "the small beer glass by emile gallé"
    http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/139412-next-stop-25-km-from-strasbourg-hague?in=user
    I bought this glass several years ago, four I think, and it was not very expensive. In fact, sometimes I drink beer with it, and I was sure by the color of the glass that it was Theresienthal. I have other Theresienthal roemer or goblets and the glass is similar, besides in the internet site
    http://www.roemer-aus-theresienthal.de/historismusvar2.html
    you can see a roemer with the Munchen kindel
    Thus my question is Gallé copy Theresienthal motifs?
    The glass is magnificent as most of the glass of this fabrique. You can see a stein with the same chil in liveauctioners http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/9964041
    There other glass makers, till now that uses the Munich child in beer containers, but they are different, the one I have has all the insumes to make beer (barley, hops) and the usual condiments (horseradish) so it is one of the olders done by Theresienthal

    Wikipedia says that
    This symbol has been the coat-of-arms of Munich since the 13th century. The figure portrayed was originally a monk (or friar) holding a book, but by the 16th century it evolved in different portrayals into the figure of a small child wearing a pointed hood, often shown holding a beer mug and a radish. It has been theorized that the name for the city of Munich (München in German) comes from the term "Kloster von Mönchen" or "Cloister for Monks" due to the Imperial Abbey of Tegernsee--a Benedictine Monastery near which the original town of Munich was built.
    The history of Theresienthal can be find at his homepage
