    Hello everyone...hope you're staying safe/well in these ODD times .

    I got these glasses at separate times but from the same source... (charity shop for ten pence each so again as always very little outlay on my part. **Tightness personified**)
    Been trying to find out more about glass but got confuzzled.

    I think I'll upload each glass separately,am getting MIGHTY CONFUSED


    The first one is odd.
    Has a greenish tinge which looks a bit vaseline glass ish.
    It's not very good quality I would say.
    Can see many small bubbles in the glass and what look like *lines* inside the bowl bit. Has a rough pontil.
    I had the very devil of a time trying to get pics so I took them outside.
    It's about three and a half inches in total length and the foot is about two and a half. Not even sure it is a drinking glass.
    It's pleasing to hold though.

    One...is the rim on the foot folded under? could indicate 19th century. Unless there's a strong black light reaction, disregard color. Is the surface, or the glass itself cloudy?

    The glass itself is a bit cloudy. It's also a little iridescent, like things that have been buried . I find it hard to tell if the foot is folded or not. I compared it with pics online and still, hard to tell.

    It is lovely, Bou.:)
    Maybe others can tell if you post a pic of the bottom?

    Can you put it on a white sheet. Maybe take a picture outside but not in direct light.

    Size would indicate a juice glass or shrimp cocktail.

    Due to the cloudy appearance, I'm wondering if this glass isn't suffering from crizzling, or glass disease, where a poor batch recipe causes an eventual chemical break-down. I don't think it looked like that when new.

    I don't think so...it's a bit iridescent but think it's supposed to be green

    I took pics against white first and nothing showed...I put card into em too and didn't work either. My house is dark as the grave BUT will try again today <3
