Roemer

The delicate stringings, or wheeled quillings, also, round the necks of the roemers and berkemeyers are not less noteworthy than the stringings or spinnings―naturally never quilled―of their bases or footings.

Here the pipe and roemer glass obviously indicate taste and smell, and equally obviously, the transience of sensual pleasures.

When I first saw complete roemers (often pronounced 'rummer', the name comes from the Dutch for making a toast, roemen) in the auction house where I was working, I knew their appeal went far beyond dedicated collectors.
