Topic: hi could someone help please?

[Jo83]

Hi everyone, is it possible that anyone could tell me about these glasses? They were my mother in laws and I know very little about their origin or value except they are from the 40s at least. Thankyou in advance!

Apologies for the picture, I had to use a lower resolution on my camera phone because the original attachment was too large

Welcome to the board. Can we have a picture against a plain white background please along with rim and base shots

Hi and welcome! 

You can add 4 images per posting - just click on the bit under the attachement box where it says "more attachments".
You've got the sizing right and the images blow up nicely, but if you cropped the images, we could get to see them bigger.

I'm afraid I can't actually make out what the base really looks like from the picture. I know if you're not used to looking at glass bottoms you're possibly not aware of how much information can be gained from being able to see exactly how it is finished off.

I can see the tiny "knobby" bit on the rim of the glass though - well done for capturing that!

Thank you for replying, I have absolutely no clue what you would be looking for! Do you want me to enlarge the base pic or do you need a different one completely?

[Jo83]

Not sure it will come out clear enough, it comes out clearer with the flash on but not sure if I could avoid the glare reflecting off the glass!

I think these are Bormioli Parma, Italy from the late fourties or early fifties - no guarantee though.
