What a great and priceless collection. I always look for such old glasses when I go to antique shows and flea markets and they are very hard to find and often very expensive. I have had some luck however, as you can see from my latest video I was able to find a 300 year old Dutch "Roemer" wine glass in perfect condition for very little money.
