Hi Cazza, tricky to id, tall one is a Hock glass, nice faceted stem, probably Bohemian , possibly Val St Lambert of Belgium who make some nice Hock glasses, equally could be an English make, such as Royal Brierley, , i presume you have checked closely for any marks, sometimes they can be very very hard to see. The other wine glass with Airtwist stem , probably fairly modern English, made by a number of crystal companies. It does look familiar, and i think its quite a common find. You could look on http://www.replacements.com/index.htm try some but there are a lot to look through :o
Regards Andy

Your long link is because you have done a search. If you chop it off at the end of item number it still works http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOHEMIAN-Amethyst-ENGRAVED-FACETED-HOCK-GLASS-Perfect_W0QQitemZ270268428083

A maker of harlequin Hocks in some volume has been VEB Gehren of the former East Germany. I am informed that in more recent years makers in Romania and possibly other Eastern European nations have joined the club of manufacturers of these popular items.

to which may be added that the largest specialist in cut-to-clear is Ajka from Hungary - they do customer brands.
