wee emm eff produced their own  glass from 1884 to 1984. They started producing insets just as these for their metal products in their own wrks, and from the 1920s expanded into art glass. After the glass blowing section closed they tendered production out to Zwiesel.

Leni:
Thank you, Ivo  :)

Choille:
Hi there -I had a set of what looks like these glasses without holders. I would say that they are not related to the holders as the style is not arts & crafts.
The glasses I had with the swags were very thin & on close inspection were not etched but molded. The lines of the pattern were raised.

Lustrousstone:
Etching does create a raised effect. This sort of design would be very difficult to create by blow moulding (as these glasses are). Pressing is a different matter.
