Hello and welcome to the board :)

Apologies you've been left for a few days without a welcome - the board seems to have been extra busy this week. 

For id's it would help greatly if you could post each piece separately in it's own pic and also a photo of the base please.
Your pieces all look to be satin or matt frosted glass which makes me think of Lafiore glass.  A photo of the base would be helpful to clarify whether or not that is a viable possibility.
I do wonder if one of the Polish glasshouses has made satin glass recently as the shapes are reminiscent of some of their pieces.

Welcome from me too.
these glasses keep popping up in large quantities all ovr the world, the stemmed one is a party light holder which is from India or China, the other ones may be from the same source, but I cannot confirm. It could be Lafiore as M. said - in which case the pontil on the underside should be roughly ground but not polished.

My turn to apologise for the delay in replying. Thanks for the info. The bottoms of the green & blue bowls are quite rough as you can see from the pics.

Not sure, I've had them about 10 years liked the look and colours but had no info about them. I've had a look on the Lafiore web site and can't find anything like them. The stems seem to have been 'welded' to the base.

ah, ok, they might still be Lafiore but  a good few years old then :)
I just hadn't seen them around and thought they might be new designs with that nice stem.
Lafiore is difficult to search for but there are some posts and links on this board if you use the search button.
