<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 3398867, member: 7360"]A few years ago I fell for a little job lot of diverse drinks glasses, but regretted it, since they didn't seem as old as I first thought, so put them away in a box. Now I've refound them and like them rather better, but need to find out something about the age, and also the function, so I can move them on. The first glass, of which I have four, is very small, with etched and notched decoration. I would have thought a cocktail glass but there is scarcely room for an olive in there, let alone much to drink! The only thing I can think of is a little taste of a "digestif", but I'm not much of a drinker, and I've not come across one before. I like the stem, which seems to have been cut and notched to give a pretty design and a good grip, there must have been quite a lot of work involved. The star on the base would have hidden a pontil mark if there was one, so no clue there. 20th century? English? or not . . .[ATTACH=full]301870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301871[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301872[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301873[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]301875[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
