Topic: Made In The U.S.S.R Sherry? Glasses...Labels - ID = Tarbeklaas, Estonia

[kane_u_pain]

Hello GMB members. Bought these a little while ago and though I should put them up.

4 Sherry? Glasses. Quite light weight by well made and a lovely shape. 2 have labels, Made In USSR & another label with a T; which I assume may be a makers label. I know I am not likely to get an id on them but in case, here they are!

From the same maker, presumably around the same time. This smoke glass jug and four tumblers were still in their original fitted box, the box's generic decoration looked typical for the 60s or 70s and sadly had no information on it at all.

Wonderful, thank you. The T is for Tarbeklaas, a glass maker in Estonia (now within the European Union).

Interesting, thanks Nev for finding the eBay listing. I have two tumblers/vases the same as those but mine are a peachy colour. I've long wondered who made them!

There are a lot of pieces and information online, unfortunately it doesn't seem to translate to English, here's a brief history.
