[Cazza]

Sorry rubbish description no sure what it should be called
Anyway the ruby one is 7 3/4" tall
the other is 6 !/4" tall
Can anyone id them for me please

[Andy]

Hi Cazza,
tricky to id, tall one is a Hock glass, nice faceted  stem, probably Bohemian , possibly
Val St Lambert of Belgium who
make some nice Hock glasses, equally could be an English make, such as Royal Brierley, , i presume you have
checked closely for any marks, sometimes they can be very very hard to see.
The other wine glass with Airtwist stem , probably fairly modern English, made by a number of crystal companies.
It does look familiar, and i think its quite a common find.
You could look on

try some but there are a lot to look through

Regards

Hi Cazza,

Your long link is because you have done a search. If you chop it off at the end of item number it still works

A maker of harlequin Hocks in some volume has been VEB Gehren of the former East Germany. I am informed that in more recent years makers in Romania and possibly other Eastern European nations have joined the club of manufacturers of these popular items.

to which may be added that the largest specialist in cut-to-clear is Ajka from Hungary - they do customer brands.

The airtwist glass looks like Stuart Arial to me.
