Can anyone identify these four cocktail glasses that my parents had, and that I now have?

  I find this incredibly interesting and hope you will too. The pattern is New England Glass Company's [ NEG co.]"BLAZE" c. 1866? The patent drawing of the mold is c.1847 by Joseph Magoun of the NEG co.The idea behind the patented mold was to eliminate most of the unsightly mold line in pressed glass stemware.
  WORKING THE MOLD:
As "B" in the drawing is the only hinged two piece in the mold this is where the mold line would occur. The "plunger "H" would be lifted from the mold and "G" [top] lifted off, the hinged section "B" opened, then the "plug" "A" incorporating the cup shaped foot is pushed upward thus releasing the article from the mold.The article would be taken out the top of the mold and be subjected to the fire to form the foot thus polishing out most of the mold line there. Although the patent drawing shows a round baluster stem, the patent concept later refined for a multi-sided stem where the mold line would follow along two edges of the stem and be mostly hidden to the eye.
  A more complete drawing of the patent can be seen here: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/fa/87/6a/757236fccd1a69/US5302.pdf
  Finished pieces in this pattern and type of mold can be seen at; https://www.eapgs.net/pattern-details.php?idx+781 The line drawings in the link are from a NEG co. catalogue c. 1868-1869.

The sentence in the link at item 63.01 is describing items with tree trunk like tooled feet.  It reads that some items that are attributed to Harrach and some items  that are attributed to Stevens and Williams may be wrongly attributed and quote 'some of which actually may have been made by Loetz for the British market'.

It's referring to the whole item, not just the feet.


Interested to find out who might have made this piece because the neck collar design detail and the pink interior remind me of the pink lobed Fishscale vases (if anyone remembers those?).

At Bergdala glastekniska museum we have a page containing several (downloadable) Swedish glass catalogues, among them some from Strombergshyttan: https://bergdala-glastekniska-museum.se/nedladdningar.html

Hi, thank you for the photographs. 

Just in case you cross posted and didn't see the post above your last one, Kerstinfroberg has generously linked to some glass catalogues in that post, which contain some Strombergshyttan.
