These were my first ever win at a recent auction - got carried away with the excitement, but fortunately they didn't cost much :D  Any ideas what they are please?  I've not been able to find similar ones with their green colouration at the base.  They have a star cut base with 16 points.
TIA ;)

"Freefold" by Imperial (USA), Anne. The colour appears to be Imperial's Helios. It's green base glass with a gold / silver iridescence. They may even have a bit of a glow if you try them out with the old UV light.

A big thank you as always Glen :)  I'll try out my UV torch on them later.
