[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 268763, member: 1296"]The glasses are each 7 inches tall with a slight height difference. At least one of them is crooked. One has a polished base, the other seems to have a thinner base with no or less obvious polishing mark. The one with the polished base has a darker color to it and two large air bubbles (pictured below). Both of them have horizontal lines.
