That's not Walsh Walsh fruiting vine as M says. Have you flicked them to see if they ring. I still think English or US

[NevB]

Yes they do ring Christine, being hand made each has a different note, when tapped it's a bit like "hi de hi"  .

Steuben made Jade range (I think they're referred to as Jades?) sherberts like the S&W ones but with a taller stem.
However, I can't see that they made this colour uranium glass?  and wondering about the grape and vine decoration?

Edited- just checked this Steuben one out and the size doesn't match. It appears to be larger although I guess they might have come in different sizes maybe?

The Corning gives the various sizes for each component part here:

If they ring and don't thunk, then it's lead glass

[NevB]

I have to disagree with you on this one Christine. A piece of soda glass will also ring if it is finely made and the shape is right, and vice versa a heavily moulded piece of lead glass will not ring. There is a post at the top of this glass section asking how to identify lead glass and the only true way is to find its density i.e. by dividing its weight by its volume to give gms./cm3. From research soda glass weighs up to 2.4gms./cm3. and lead glass anything from about 3.2gms./cm3 up to 4.1gms./ cm3. or even higher. The big problem with this is finding the volume of an irregularly shaped piece but there are a couple of methods using water displacement to do this.

Not sure if these are the same colour exactly but they seem to have a similar vine pattern so adding them for comparison and a different shape:

They do look very alike, but again I'm not convinced on the Bohemian

[flying free]

Yes agree.  Unfortunately although they are a different shape it's not particularly a shape which might help id 

[NevB]

I initially thought they were Bohemian because you see a lot of wine glasses with the "beehive" stem and the same leaf and vine decoration, although some are later and made in France, but I don't think these are French.
