I have five of these beautiful glasses which look very Scandinavian to me. But what do I know! Any ideas please?

It's fairly safe to discount Kastrup and Holmegaard from their list of random glassmakers - this colour, insofar as I know, was not in the production palette of either factory.

perhaps Murano, Venetian, Italian glass or early Orrefors, Baccarat, Steuben, or possibly Holmegaard (Kastrup).

name dropping, there seems to be no substance to any of these hints.

Yes, I agree!  They are of a very high quality though - but so many names are no good to me. I am still trying to research them. Thanks for your reply!  8)
