<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 148156, member: 44"]I have 6 cordials that were my mother's. I don't know when or where she got them, but do know she had to have bought them before 1980. She only had these 6. They have amber bowls and bases, clear twist stems, and stand 6 1/8". A couple of them had "flea bites" on rim that I had ground away making them a bit shorter than the rest. I haven't been able to ID the maker in over 10 years of trying and doubt anyone can at this stage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, my question is in describing the bowls. I have seen this shape called tulip and flared. Neither one seems to fit. What shape bowl would y'all call it? Of course if someone recognizes them, I certainly would be delighted to know the maker!</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, they are cordials rather than sherry glasses, right?
