Are you sure they're pressed and not cut glass - especially if you can't find a seam? I wouldn't have thought they'd have a flat, polished base if they were pressed glass.

They're not Davidson. Any seam will run up one of the edges. Can we see just one glass in close up at a time and a picture of each of the different sides

ground/polished flat bottoms like these might possibly indicate a Czechoslvakian origin  -  the colour might just be plain citrine, rather than having a uranium content - just my personal thoughts.

The pattern on the panel we can see is the daisy & button motif.  D&B was first introduced as a cut glass pattern in the early 1880s but was quickly adopted by pressed glass makers and the motif has been pretty well in continuous use up to the present day.  The tumblers are definitely pressed.  NMott is correct that the base treatment is unusual however it is not unknown and may suggest a continental origin.  I would like to see a photo of the top rim as well if more photos are going to be posted.

its as though glass was put in a mold then a hot iron pressed into the glass . think i have found the seam down the middle of the  diamond side.

i better photo of the seam ? i dont think it is cut glass as the edges would be sharper
thanks for looking and the info

the ground/polished rim would also support the Continental suggestion.        If in doubt about the cutting versus pressed method, try using a lens and you should see some feint remains of grinding marks within the mitres or other cut areas - can you see this effect on the polished base for example?

not cut glass i can see under a magnifying glass that the diamonds on the seam dont match up
