Wow, would you risk drinking from them????????

I have a Bagley butter dish that gives off quite a bit of radiation in any light. But I think these are extra special because they are yellow and green is just in the base. Spooky!

Sorry, just commenting. No idea of the maker.

I think maybe they are English, you could check the Whitefriars catalog... http://www.whitefriars.com/catalogues/1860/index.php?pageNum_catalogue=12&totalRows_catalogue=48

I think Sowerby also made tumblers like this but i'm not sure if they were cut or pressed, it's difficult to tell from catalogs.
