Just ordered a small jelly glass. It is supposed to be German from WWI and is embossed with a 1914-ish German and Austrian soldier, a flag and some sort of oak leafs. The oral history I get on it is that the German soldiers would get these glasses full of jelly, and when the jelly was gone they were used as drinking glasses. Will try to post some good snaps of it when it arrives, but in the mean time I was wondering if any WWI guys out there have heard of these glasses? I am trying to pick up odd non ordnance WWI pieces for my collection to work into my next display. Also my source on this jelly glass has what he says are small pottery Schnapps containers that were dug at Ypres. I am an old bottle collector as well so ANY light that anyone can shed on this for me it will greatly appreciated. I was really surprised on how cheap WWI era British beer/soda bottles can be had, definately workable into any display. Regards...............Dano
