Help me identify this royal monogram!




This is a small crystal wine glass - with a monogram that I don't recognize.  A Crown above what looks like two Ws.   Any assistance will be appreciated.

There was a William I of the Netherlands who married Wilhelmina of Prussia

thanks, but I know it is contemporary.

Could the crown me a British peer's coronet?

John said...

Hmm, it's a marquess coronet too. It's a nice glass, very decorative.

Marlene Eilers Koenig said...

It has to ne a European royal just not sure which one

Gérard Caule said...

Yes a coronet of marquess.

Gérard Caule said...

Yes, a coronet of marquess.

John said...

Oh, how about glasses from the wedding of Frederick of Weid and Pauline of Wurttenberg? Their Houses both start with 'W' so maybe.
Haha, I know that is a stretch but it is fun guessing.

I also realize my spelling of the Houses is atrocious but I am writing this quickly.

similar to a marquess, but I doubt it ...I will try the suggestion of a dark piece of paper behind it.

Maybe Prince Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia and his first wife, Waltraud Freytag but only if he went by and was known by his middle name, Wilhelm? Long shot, I know but I love these guessing games.

Marlene Eilers Koenig said...

definitely not FW and Waltraud -- they didn't have a royal wedding with commemoratives.

John said...

Marlene, do you think I was on to something with Weid and Wurttenberg? Maybe they had a big wedding?

Not sure I do not think the glass is that old
