North German, the cut decoration Isengebirge, attributed to Franz Anton Riedel, first third 19th century.

Franz Anton Riedel (1786 – 1844) came from a family of glassmakers who had been based in the Jizera Mountains since the late 18th century. He became famous for a design of cylindrical cups decorated with classical style figures depicted in front of ruins holding shields with monograms. The edges of his glasses are always decorated in the same way as can be seen on these liquor glasses.
