    I specialise in selling ceramics but sometimes glass turns up in mixed lots at auction. I collected four boxes bought for a princely £25 today and after removing the ceramics I wanted I was left with these pieces.

    I don’t know much at all about glass but I think one is a Victorian ale glass.

    Any ideas if the paperweight, small pink glass, tall glass engraved with vines and cut glass salt are 6817C3ED-C72F-466A-A4E9-267521C8190B.jpeg E4115412-F416-4E5D-916C-8518231E6403.jpeg F7E64A57-1CAF-4F9A-A6E6-E15832CC9FE8.jpeg 0F545A01-C2B4-4DF4-B3AF-2B81DD64746E.jpeg F8154564-637F-4635-8142-A7DF0BBC9CD2.jpeg 4753EE09-BF76-483D-A6B1-73D584FC1600.jpeg of any age?

    The conical one looks like a toasting glass. I'd say the oldest one there though there are better minds than mine on here...

    Both of these are older, 1800s. You're in UK so maybe @Ownedbybear will know what companies and better dating.

    Is this what you are calling a paperweight. Looks like a master salt to me and possibly older. (maybe an illusion based on the angle of the picture.) Need to see the bottom.

    The other two are 1940s/50s or later.

    Blue is a late 19th salt. God knows who, we had hundreds of factories. Oval one, same again.

    The conical glass looks earlier, maybe 1830s ish? Folded footrim.

    Pink is very recent. Tall one may actually be for champagne - Eastern European 1960s probably.
