    I suppose they are wines or cordials, but I'm calling them goblets to be on the safe side.

    The taller has an opalescent rim, a double band of triangles under that and a floral band around the bowl. It is 5" high.

    The other has an arch window with a row of squares above and below a row of X boxes. It is 4 3/8" high. Both are 3-part molds.

    I found one on Google search at a site called Surplus Outlet but when I clicked the window the item was not there.

    I don't have a black light so I can't say how either would react to that.

    I sure appreciate any help y'all can provide!

    The goblet on the left is in the pattern Wildflower made originally by Adams & Co. in the 1880s. It would be from the category Early American Pattern Glass. However, the goblets were reproduced like crazy so I don't know if this one is an original. Adams did make it in yellow glass, but I'm not sure about opalescent yellow glass.

    Your 2nd glass is also EAPG but I haven't found the pattern yet.

    Super! I will have to assume these are newer as I can't prove otherwise. I appreciate the fast response!

    that Wildflower is very likely a Wright reproduction piece

    the other is Orion (AKA: Cathedral) by Bryce Bros. c1886

    Even the L G Wright reproduction is still a bit old, made during the 1960s. I found a photo of this one in my reference book. An old catalog page was shown. And the Orion goblet is definitely antique.

    Don't get excited about L G Wright wares. They were made for sale to antique dealers so they could foist them off on their customers. Wright used several different glass companies to make his products.
