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.
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.
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.
There was a William I of the Netherlands who married Wilhelmina of Prussia
ReplyDeletethanks, but I know it is contemporary.
ReplyDeleteCould the crown me a British peer's coronet?
ReplyDeleteHmm, it's a marquess coronet too. It's a nice glass, very decorative.
ReplyDeleteIt has to ne a European royal just not sure which one
ReplyDeleteYes a coronet of marquess.
ReplyDeleteYes, a coronet of marquess.

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

ReplyDeletedefinitely not FW and Waltraud -- they didn't have a royal wedding with commemoratives.
ReplyDeleteMarlene, do you think I was on to something with Weid and Wurttenberg? Maybe they had a big wedding?
ReplyDeleteNot sure I do not think the glass is that old
