Side-on shots and base shots against a plain white background would be useful.

There is a company here which does something very similar. They buy standard footed glasses in Poland and here they cut them diagonally, then sell them on to the florist trade.

oh yes, single flower displays - a rose, an aucuba leaf and a sprig of grass in some florist foam - cheap and cheerful.

Hi Dorry, are you UK   N.E.   by any chance ?  3 glasses the same up here. Unusual and I could not figure them out but 'Funky' suits them well. ;D

Hi pete, yep in the uk. The man who we bought them from said they were a set of 3, but we only have these 2. He said they were 1930's? Like u just can't figure them out. We have bought a old 1960's wall unit and thought they may go well on there??

The flower theory looks like it would work. One of those, in my words only, Arty type flower arrangement. Large flower in it with the, excuse my ignorance lol, thin green grass types going outside the glass. (Jeez...I need to get out more !!!)
