    We are not sure what these may have been used for... I say champagne or wine, my wife says jello! All but these two have chips in the glass around the edges. Two different styles, one has etching and the other is plain; also there are a couple tall ones we agree are for parfait. Very thin pink glass. Anyone know when, who and really what these are? Thanks very much. 695B8D1B-2B72-4D13-AB66-15CF2B0D6ADE.jpeg

    Probably the '20s, too short a stem for champagne, probably sherbets.

    The one is grey cut, not polished. Its' hand done, more skill involed than etching.

    Agree with aforementioned sherbet.

    If they are footed flared tumblers, they could also be for iced tea (larger) or juice (smaller).

    There are several sherbets listed in the link I provided above, check the measurements. They do look like yours.
    Very pretty, I love pink glass!
    (I searched for Tiffin pink optic etched but could not find the design of your etched glass.)

    EDIT:
    Here is the parfait, note the stem length:

    The grey cut one is 5”, the other is 5 1/8”. And this, The one we thought maybe for parfait, is only 4 1/2 inches and apparently made to hold sweet pea seeds. 99ECDE37-739D-4CB8-AAEE-2288B36F2D60.jpeg

    I had a 2 sets of wine glasses in two sizes, from the 1970s, same color but without the etchings? Sold 'em in a garage sale. I think mine were Mikasa with same shape?
