The generous clear bowls sit on deep emerald-green stems, moulded with closely spaced rings and finished with broad, flared feet. The combination is simple, but the green glass gives them real character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Römer, or Roemer, has a history stretching back centuries to the wine-drinking traditions of Germany and the Rhineland. Early examples were made from greenish forest glass, often with distinctive textured stems, and became particularly associated with the white wines of the Rhine. By the 20th century, the familiar green-stemmed glass had become a fixture on tables across Germany, Alsace and parts of France. Luminarc's version brought this traditional form into the modern era, with cleaner lines and the practicality of everyday French glassware.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe closely ribbed green stems are a particularly distinctive feature, giving the glasses a pleasing weight and a strong contrast with their plain, rounded bowls. Their straightforward design is typical of Luminarc's approach to everyday glassware, combining traditional forms with modern manufacturing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Perfect vintage condition, with no chips, cracks or signs of damage.

While fashions in tableware changed, the green-stemmed wine glass remained remarkably familiar. Luminarc's 1970s interpretation has its own appeal, combining centuries of wine-drinking tradition with the colourful, practical design of the period.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWorldwide Shipping:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e We are always happy to ship worldwide.
