Amethyst drinking glasses with fish print

(1/3) > >>

Anik R:
Hello,

I was smitten when I saw these fishy drinking glasses on an Internet auction site, and my imagination lead me to believe they were something really special.  But now, as they are in my possession, they're not as wonderful as I initially thought.

I've got a set of 6 (2 of each pattern).  Though the bases are thick, the glasses themselves are quite thin and delicate.  Each glass is a slightly different height (about 10cm tall and hold appx. 150ml).  The base is lumpy and each of the 4 feet have got circular impressions.

The fish are not hand-painted (rather obvious now that I see them  :spls:).

Does anyone know the maker of my glasses, and the period they were made?

Thank you for looking.

P.S.  A friend told me a fancy word for the fish -- I planned on using the word and impressing people with my eloquence and intelligent vocabulary...  unfortunately, I've misplaced my little note, hence my use of 'fish'  ;D

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shubunkin  As wikipedia says "similar to the Common Goldfish."  LOL - so at least I was in the right Fish Department  :24: :pb: lol

Any ideas on the maker of the glasses, JP?  Thanks

I seem to have a couple of those glasses with pictures of nuts on them & always assumed they were Nutella glasses, made in Italy.
