The small green piece I think was a posy vase rather than a drinking glass.
The depth of orange varies with thickness, each of the plates and the saucer had a polished pontil mark in the opaque 'white' section (if that makes any sense). 
The two lidded pots (powder bowls?) are big at six inches in diameter and the green jar is nine inches tall.

I have now had to place saran wrap over the keyboard so as to prevent the drool from causing problems.....

For what it is worth, The connection between Stevens & Williams, and Frederick Carder's later career in the US at Steuben is certainly reflected in some of Steuben's production. Here is a Steuben Rosaline bowl with an alabaster foot.

two of the best reasons for desiring something  -  beauty and rarity  -  and these pieces have both in abundance.    Thanks to everyone for showing their collections. :)

John, am I thinking of someone else - did you not have a Cinammon vase at some point?

No not me m, I did have a few more of the posy vases like the green one, 2 in blue and 2 more in orange, or is it apricot?

no I think the colour is actually called Cinammon (but I could be wrong) but yes, that's the two I was thinking of :)
