    1,2 & 4 are early 19th century, late Georgian into the very early Victorian. They were made over quite a time range c1800-1850. 3 is Victorian c1870.

    2 is probably the earliest, made by blowing the glass into a mould with ribs and then manipulating it by hand to get the twist.

    All are typically English, and would be multi-purpose for stronger drinks.
