Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.

Generally speaking, ruins should go to !historyruins@lemmy.world

Interesting how the engraving reads much closer to German compared to modern Dutch

As a Dutch person I am pretty sure the engraving is in German. The glass is named in Germany a Römer, in the UK a Rummer and in Dutch a Roemer.

More history on the Römer

Agreed, it's not Dutch
