    Hi all,
    I am glad to find a forum like this. I have some red dimple crackle glass tumblers that were my grandmother's, circa 1950's. They are red on the sides but clear on the bottom. There is definitely a pontil? mark that would indicate that they are blown glass. Is it possible that they are Blenko or was there another producer that created similar pieces? Thanks.

    Hello, if you will notice via the link Bookahtoo provided the tumblers have a more distinct rounded base that yours appear to have. I believe yours may have been produced by Bischoff. Odd thing is, I don't believe I have ever seen any with a clear bottom. There are a few groups on FB for West Virginia Glass Companies such as Bischoff, Rainbow, Kanawha, etc. You may want to verify with them.
