Featured help with molded glass drinking ? glasses

hey again

can anyone help with info on these glasses, dont know if their for beverage or dessert

old or modernish

any thoughts appreciated

 

Id think with those huge lips theyd have had a cover? great pics Charlie!

 

ah, i did think that mate, would make sense

 

Johnny may be right, or they could be drinking goblets. They needed some way to transition back from the hexagonal shape to circular to facilitate drinking.

Look to be 60s or 70s to me with the dark forest green and chunky design.

That's my nickel's worth, Chesaroo.

 

was my first thought as well. medieval style with cover. but somehow the colour doesn't fit. I'd rather expect a Bohemian red. for red wine.

 

Measurements?

 

looks like an ashburton pattern; not sure who

 

hi george, they measure 5 1/2 inches

 

Thanks for the height. You might look around here http://www.eapgs.org/patterns/pattern-details.php?idx=3216

 

@charlie cheswick, would you mind taking just ONE MORE image, kind of like your first, BUT looking slightly down on them.....a better view looking downish on that strange rim???? Thanks!!!!! They are SO UNUSUAL!!!!

OK, so I also found something "SIMILAR" looking...they aren't 'goblets' but more like 'old fashioned' glasses...sort of, that maybe you can try to search out.....scroll down to the 7th set of images.....

Which says "CRISTAL et BRONZE" and PARIS in the middle.....something to maybe chase!!

 

great find Aquitaine

 

thanks aquitaine

just when i thought they were nout you pulled them back in !

 

The latest photos make me think the glass is older, with the air bubbles and ripples...

 

The color also reminds me of the far out green glassware we saw in the 1970's.
I am guessing there is no way they could be for holding tea light candles?

 

Yeah, 'bottle green' was big in the 70s. And in the late 70s there was a lot of colorful, inexpensive glass home decor stuff on the market from eastern Europe. The big vase I had was full of bubbles.

If the inside bottom is rounded, not likely to be for any type of candle (except one of those round ones).

Suggest you put some of your preferred beverage in one & see what it's like to drink out of it. They're small. If for drinking, think it would be something you sip. They do look like they should have lids, except not sure the lip would be smooth & rounded that way?

 

good point, the lip is rounded as if to drink from

now where did i put that malt whiskey, i havent drunk for years but this is purely experimental !!

 

I think that they had lids that fitted over the top and mirrored that hexagonal shape. They look annoyingly familiar.

 

The form, flats and the thin rim, are very reminiscent of hand cut Biedermeier style from the early 19th Century in Europe, but these are obviously pressed.
