<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 2687, member: 44"]Any ideas as to maker of these avocado frosted goblets (6 3/8" tall) and sherbets (4 1/4")? The tops flare out especially of the sherbet/fruit. The glass is a bit thinner than appears. The inside is shiner then the exterior. They date from the 1960s. I have hunted for years now without any luck. I have seen similar frosted avocado color stems called "Green Blendo" created by West Virginia Glass Specialty, but definitely different. Green Blendo have clear top halves.</p><p><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/173187881/set-of-8-frosted-green-blendo-cordial?ref=market" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/173187881/set-of-8-frosted-green-blendo-cordial?ref=market" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/173187881/set-of-8-frosted-green-blendo-cordial?ref=market</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Then there are these now on eBay, but not the same.
