The glass come up as I was digging this little piece that looks like it was cupped and used for pouring fine gold. Just curious if anyone has seen these symbols or can put an age to it? Thanks in advance and happy hunting!

The same embossed mark was shown on what was said to be a French 19th Century wine bottle by a French collector who sells on eBay.

He didn’t assign it any more than that and described it thus:

Double crested unknown Coat of arms. Representing marriage between marquis and comte (probably Alsace french family and germany family). Two heraldic shields surmounted by 2 coronets (marquis and comte).

I don’t know how reliable that might be, but perhaps it gives you something more to go on with a bit more Googling. Yours look earlier/cruder so perhaps this is a wine estate/company with a longer history.
 
Wow, thank you Red-Coat. You have already produced more info than I had hoped to find. Thank you!!
 
Red-Coat sure knows his stuff. What he does not know... he knows where to find it.
