Cobalt Blue Glass

One of the cup has polished pontil, the other a bit rough. Ground and polished base on the vase. Any suggestions on origin and age?
Thanks

 

As an aside, you always have such intriguing "backdrops" to your photos. Since your photos are so clear and sharp, the background doesn't really matter but there are times that I find myself wondering WHAT that is in the background - from waste baskets to trees, there is always "something"...............

 

Background is at Goodwill
Actually, the pontil on the cup is maybe not polished but more smoothly broken.

 

Back to the stemware. One is slighly taller but the base is much bigger than the other. Can't tell for sure if they are old or modern, made in Mexico or so.

Some have the fluted/ruffled rim like your vase. Others have a smooth rim.
Hopefully someone can help verify, yea or nay.

 

Thanks a lot. I think it is by Pairpoint. One of the feature on their pieces is that the bubbles are vertical and swirled. Also, the base with the ground and polished pontil is quite right.
I just need to figure if this shape was produced during certain period or had a long lifespan.

 

No new info, just dropping a link. It took a long time to find another ruffled rim in cobalt blue.

Thanks for your time. I did not bother to find the exact much as I think the color does not matter a lot. The seller titled it as rare but I don't know if it is indeed.

Described as 6 1/2 tall, mine are 6 1/4. Pretty much the same shape but I think there are slight differences in the details. Can't tell for sure from the pics if they have pontil scars.
