These flower type hock and liqueur glasses were intended to be appreciated from above when in use. The flower design is not always immediately apparent until one looks inside the bowl. The style was deployed by Meyr’s Neffe. Lobmeyr. Theresienthal and Heckert at Petersdorf. Many of the Theresienthal exampes have green stems to enhance the floral decoration. This shape of bowl is quite distincticve to Theresienthal
