THE GLASS SOUTH GERMANY, LATE 17TH CENTURY, THE MOUNTS MAKER'S MARK HS, POSSIBLY FOR HIERONYMUS SCHUCH, AUGSBURG, 1692-1697

The mark on the present tankard, which is very similar in form to others made in Augsburg in the late 17th century, appears identical to that of goldsmith Hieronymus Schuch as recorded in H. Seling, Die Augsburger Gold- und Silverschmiede 1529-1868, Munich, 2007, no. 1529, p. 285. Seling notes, though, that Schuch died in 1683, which is before the Augsburg town mark that Seling dates to 1692-1697 (no. 1060, p. 45).
