Topic: Pick your brains re drinking glass

[Margi]

If I may can I pick someones brain and see if this rings a bell from my description.  I saw some glasses today which I very nearly bought but they were just a little too much for me and hubby was with me so thought better of it.  I know I have seen them somewhere maybe in a book but cannot locate now and it is beginning to bug me.  They were babycham styled (well sloped) heavy with a large teardrop before joining the stem, so thinking about it they must have been cased.  Definately had a knop of what shape I cannot remember.  Polished pontil and had reasonable age as they had lots of wear.  The base was not as wide as the top as I remember putting them on top of each other and whilst it stood without a wobble it did drop down.  I hope this makes sense.  I am not going to buy them as like I say out of my reach but just wondered who they are.  I think the teardrop is the big point.
Thanks in advance

Not quite sure I understand the description, Margi. When you say 'teardrop', are you referring to a teardrop shaped lump of glass, or a bubble? And when you say the teardrop was before joining the stem, exactly where on the glass was it?

I shall try to explain better sorry. where you pour your drink into the glass on the bottom normally comes to a point or flat this was a large teardrop shape.  Then it looked to be cased so the bottom of the teardrop was about 2 cm above the stem which was solid.  If I still havent explained clearly I shall draw it and scan it in.  Never have been one to explain things properly probably why I was always in trouble as a kid.
