In Holland and Germany in the golden age of art, the 17th century, roemer glasses were popular. The prunts are those protrusions on the hollow stem. They were applied by expert glass blowers. Vintage roemers are highly collectible works of art. The glasses were usually used in pubs for serving cocktails, and things get a little nutty in crowded pubs. Not many of the roemers survived the drinking games they took part in.
Peanut candies look even more enticing to me in a roemer. I dream of being in a pub with the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, just as Ruskin enters the scene.
