Pointed glas with Hebrew inscription
Inscription: "Zwi, Landrabbiner / Vorsitzender des Rabbinatsgerichts der Städte Hildesheim" Label with object number "AB 5621" (Altonaer Museum) under the foot.
Funnel-shaped glass with a short, thick shaft merging into the bowl and a round, flat foot. Thick-walled. Six small bubbles in the stem transition, arranged around a large bubble as an inclusion. A single-line Hebrew inscription in a semicircle below the rim of the glass, engraved opposite with a branch with a hanging flower. Presumably dedicated, but without religious function.
Further numbered inscription "M. 545" (Society for Jewish Folklore).
