    Are these cordial glasses? They are about 3 3/4" tall and 2 1/2" across the rim.
    I have been unable to find the maker. I have two of each color. Thanks!

    Are those bottom 2 bulges solid?
    If so maybe they are cordials or for aperitifs?

    Anyone else? I'm bringing these to the store today and I'd like to price them appropriately.

    I hadn't heard of them before a couple years ago. When I did, I noticed them in old TV a LOT. Mostly mid fifties to mid sixties in upscale, modern settings. Seemed to be on every table.

    Hi,
    The correct name was cigarette urns not vases. Grew up with them when I was younger. I still collect the Wedgwood 3½ cigarette urns though nowadays people call them vases. They used to hold 4 or 5 cigarettes and one was placed at each place setting.

    Thanks greg.

    The thing is, these seem much more fragile than any cigarette urns or holders I saw when googling. Others appear to be made of fairly thick glass.

    Nope. Terry and Greg are most probably right. I'm just spending some time convincing myself of it. :D

    So what makes it a cigarette urn as opposed to a cordial or 'drinking' glass?

    Hi,
    I was wondering the same thing, I never saw ones in glass before. All I have ever noticed were porcelain or ceramic. The nicest ones were on a neighbors table. They matched her china. I never saw another set. However I love my Jasperware Wedgwood ones. I still need to replace my black and white one. The only one I have seen for sale in last couple of years was 75 dollars too rich for my blood.:oops::oops::oops::oops:
