Set of wine glasses "N" etched on base underneath. Maker?

    Hoping this is an easy question for someone. In the hand, a nicer set of glasses, they have sort of a vertical swirl in the glass was hard to photograph. For now mostly hunting down the maker. A distinctive "N" etched on the base.

    Note: I just washed these and it makes it look like there is damage -- just water drops. Also kind of an optical illusion in the first photo -- where the vertical swirls come up made it look like the top rim is not round -- but it is perfectly round. Will need to improve photos if these wind up being an auction item.

    Any idea of maker? Thanks.

    Hi Janetpjohn. I know you know glass. Was that a guess or have you seen others?

    If guess, good guess but I just did a quick search and didn't see other clear wine glasses by Noritake signed, a few with labels, but not signed with an N. In fairness, just took a small sample.

    My photos are not up to par on this post, but in the hand these almost feel like they are hand-blown possibly. Incredibly delicate feeling. It would not have shocked me (at the thrift) to see Baccarat or something on the base when I turned them over, but just the "N".

    Appreciate you taking a look and all suggestions! :)

    I think it's the Royal Pierpont pattern. Found it by googling tulip shape!
