Topic: Replica of 19th century glass?

[JohnHoeksma]

I really assume this drinking-?- glass is a replica but it looks very old. After some research it resembles a rare german type of blue edge glass called -Blaurandglas Kutscherglas Wachtmeister. The blue edge on my glass is quite different and not as thin.
I am a beginner in glass collecting and i bought two of these glasses at a second hand store for a few euros because i like them and i really do not think that they are old, rare and expensive.
I am more curious where this type of glass comes from - if anyone knows.

Typical of drinking glasses made in Mexico recently. A quick google will show you several with blue rims and the same features.

Thank you very much. I would have never figured that out by myself.
Is it made to look old or is it a trend to make it this way?

You are welcome. More the fashion of the day I expect, don't think there is any intention to create a copy of anything older.

Ok, thank you.

It's likely to be recycled glass.

I think that may give it the appearance that it is quite old with the bubbles and the swirls in it.
