I'm wondering if these might be caviar bowls?

I came across this as you do, in a similar shape and they are described as caviar bowls (Baccarat) although that might just be the seller's interpretation of what they were for:

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thank you.

M, have just looked at Kerstins Orrefors catalogue price list for 1926 (which may be a little to early for your glass).
The Swedish spelling for caviar is kaviar, this does not show up in the price list name of goods.
Maybe Swedish life took of and caviar became more popular in the thirties.

Thanks you for checking Tim :)

It was a long shot just because I spotted the similar shape in those Baccarat bowls.

I'm wondering if the glasses are liqueur glasses and may have been designed by Rozendaal for Kristalunie Maastricht?

I came across a decanter set called Allround which has a similar type of foot and then discovered a liqueur set called Curro which seems to have similar shaped liqueur glasses:

and also the lid on this appears to be similar:

There are various examples of the Curro design on the net and the foot seems to vary.
Anyway just adding in case it helps in future searches :)

Ekimp:
Just been flicking through a Collectables Guide and noticed a King’s Lynn vase that has the same looking disk foot as your glasses.

The vase is designed by Ronald Stennett-Wilson. It is 5 inches tall, blue (very dark where it’s thick) and looks a bit like a brandy glass with a heavy foot and stubby stem. The ratio of diameter to thickness of the foot looks to be about 5:1, similar to your glasses. Maybe of interest.
