Hi, can anyone help identifying the glasses in the following pics?

Many thanks in advance,

Rich Brown

hello Rich  -  welcome to the GMB. :)            I take it that you have looked for a mark on the underside of the foot - they're not always easy to see - and another question re the foot  -  what sort of wear, if any do they have?      Also, does the red colouring look as tho. it might have some thickness  -  or does it appear as simply a stain on the glass?

Welcome to the board.
Pictures against a plain dark or light background (as appropriate) are best.

Hi, great to find such a useful forum to find out more about my glassware. I've attached a few more pictures of the glasses in question, neither set bear any makers marks that I can see. The red ones seem to have some depth to the colour. Dimensions are 135mm tall, 63mm diameter at the top and 67mm across the foot.

Regards

Rich

well, I was tempted to suggest (for the red glasses only) a similarity to Walsh 'Harlequin' tableware.    My doubts being - a very slight difference in the cross cutting design, and possibly your red is a tad too 'cherry'  whereas the Walsh might be a bit more crimson, but I'm looking at images on screen and in a book, so there may be some distortion of colour anyway.    Please don't post sideways pictures, it kills the neck in us slightly older viewers.   The period for the 'Harlequin' design was, I believe, somewhere between 1930 and 1945, so if yours were from that period I would expect some wear on the base  -  if you can't see any wear on the foot, then I would imagine these to be much more recent.    We need someone who is really knowledgable about Walsh glass (English, by the way) :)
