I wasn't completely sure about some of the other attributions myself.......

Hence my cautiousness - i'm good at feet-first! :pb: . I wanted to say that the glasses you have posted are pressed as the seam can be seen dead centre left. But I think you know that already.
I agree they aren't Ravenhead (at least not the ones I find all the time - don't know the name). Yours looks look thinner and clearer. But then not all Ravenhead is the same quality  :usd:. I have some Clappison Topaz desert bowls that are above average for Ravenhead.
Stab-in-the-dark, they have a look of Arc about them.

Not Dartington would have been my bet, I have seen them about from time to time, also in ones or twos. Assuming I remember them accurately they are not heavy enough to be Dartington - low or no lead content.

Will pick some up for you if I see any Sue.

Absolutely not Arc or Arcoroc - they're far too fine.
I'm very intrigued by the Oberglass suggestion and I reckon that's the best we have so far.
They are good quality.
Thanks, John!  ;)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
