    Bought 6 of these cups. Very cool looking. They stand 1 7/8" tall and measure 3 7/8" across the top. All look to be unmarked. All have air bubbles in them. They each have 2 little feet. The way the handle sits, it serves as another foot. The rolled up feet remind me of Steuben.

    How unusual looking ! And so pretty. At first glance I thought they were finger bowls.

    very nice : ) looks like nappies from here; does the glass color vary with different light sources?

    They look like individual nut cups. Very nice!

    Tall, I would say no. I even put these under black light.

    I assume these are fancy punch cups. Hoity toity comes to mind. :)

    Love the way the handle loops down to form the third foot. Great design.

    Rclinftl, not sure. Nothing like this on Replacements, Google lens and images don't show anything like my cups when I search for Tiffin Wisteria.

    chataboutdg has nothing close to the border on their comparison page shown below. the color looks a bit lavender in the photos but images against a white background might help with color. But if the color isn't changing under different lighting that would likely discount a dichroic/neodymium color; such as Heisey-Alexandrite or Fostoria-Wisteria or Tiffin-Twilight. That shape is often cataloged as bon-bon or nut dish or nappy.

    they would make nice "hoity toity" sorbet servers...

    Thanks Tall. The lavender color is mostly on top near the gold decoration. Will work on a light background today.

    is it possible that the lavender color at the tops is the beginnings of sun purpling? Anyone know?

    The Tiffin pattern is spelled Wistaria, whether these are I have no idea Kath. I had a vase that was Tiffine Wistaria. I thought it was miss-spelled.
