I think these are Czech and possibly sold under the Jaffe Rose label

Possibly by Pilgrim Glass from West Virginia (USA).

Hi

I would have said Czech for any like this found in Europe.

What we really need is for someone to do a study of all the different molds used for bubble patterns.  In the US, Wheaton Village, Pilgrim, and Pairpoint (vintage) have distinctive bubble patterns.  I've never attempted to characterize them.

Thanks for all the helpful replies.. 

with no markings on the base it's unlikely that it can ever be positively identified..

I asked the ebay seller how they had identified theirs.. needless to say they haven't replied with a sensible answer.. 


cheers
