Long drink glass I'd like to know more about.
« on: August 19, 2011, 10:53:00 PM »
I have four of these glasses. Belonged to my grandmother she had them for at least 25 years. Remember her once talking very highly of these "by some designer" according to her and they were never used sitting at the back.

So I got curious if its really something special or just normal glasses haha.

There are no marking of any kind.
Kind of looks like the whole glass is cracked, can feel the groves on the outside.

Hi there:

Yes, All I can say is that they looks like *Crackle Glass* -- so you were right is saying they look crackled all over.
