Blown and stained blue glass pokal with the engraved Russian Coat of Arms. This is a newer piece .
What is a “pokal?” (‘po-cull’ (or) ‘po-cow’)
Basically it is a tall (over 7 inches usually) cylindrical beaker with a matching set-on-lid, and a pedestal base. Those vessels without the pedestal are called “Humpens.” Very many pokals can be found without their original lids. Most seen are made out of glass and mostly made for decoration rather than use.
[L] Unknown maker, probably Eggerman’s [R] Eggerman. One can tell by the colors used and the dart pattern at the top.

Extremely bright and colorful Armorial pokal. Probably Josephinenhutte (due to the shape of the prunts.

The indicator that this 21 inch tall bronze pokal was made in Italy is the way the ‘Coat of Arms” (not really visible in the photo) is shown /painted on this piece, along with another but different Coat Of Arms on another exact piece, I have. [FWTD]

HUMPENS
Humpens are large can shaped glass drinking vessels. Most all of them had matching lids when they were made. As with pokal lids, they get lost and broken easily.
Small enameled Humpen made for a painter, 13 inches tall with it’s lid. “Heckart” style of enameling, but somewhat later I believe..[FWTD]
A massive. 15 inches tall, blown green glass Humpen done by Eggerman’s workshop.
