Description
Beautiful and unusual group of 3 antique German souvenir view glasses, featuring elaborate gold decoration, engraved architectural scenes, floral designs, and distinctive olive-colored glass stems and bases.
The group includes two glasses identified as “Bad Kissingen” and one glass clearly inscribed “Würzburg.” The Würzburg glass features a detailed architectural view with multiple towers and spires.
These are wonderful examples of the elaborate 19th-century German/Bohemian souvenir view-glass tradition, produced for visitors and collectors of European cities and spa destinations.

About the Group
These are offered as a group of three related German view glasses, rather than as a factory-matched set. Two feature Bad Kissingen and one features Würzburg.
The Würzburg example is especially interesting because of its clearly
visible “Würzburg” inscription and detailed architectural scene.
A wonderful opportunity for collectors of antique German glass, Bohemian glass, European souvenir glass, historical city views, or Bad Kissingen and Würzburg memorabilia.
