Do these ring a bell with anyone please? They're really well made, quite thin walled and textured all over, particularly the lower almost bark textured section which is just great to grip.
The bright green one at the front contains a lot of uranium and glows crazily under a u.v. light. I've discounted British - can't find anything similar Scandinavian, so just wonder if they could be Italian, Chinese or something else? I get the feeling that they might not be very modern, but who knows ???
TIA ;)

I'm clueless, Anne, but they are fabulous.
I'd give them both house room and cupboard space - but they'd be out and in use all the time. ;)
My Ravenhead Nevadas, Apollos and Beer Glasses (another wonderful, unusual shape) would languish and collect dust in favour of these.
The textured top part does remind me of the top bits of textured Iitalla drinks glasses, but the colours and the flames at the base throw me.

They are a bit special, but I'd be frightened of using them all the time because I'm clack-handed ::)
I'll stick to using my Ravenhead Siesta half pint tumbler/beer glasses. I just love the feel of them, but replacements are really expensive!
Just spotted that the lilac coloured glass - back row lefthand side of the pic., contains neodymium! I've just taken it a walk around the house and it has turned pale blue and green under different lights,
which makes them a bit more interesting, and hopefully easier to I.D.

Remind me of a Wedgwood vase/tumbler that i have, but the bottom half isn't right i think.

Haven't a clue, but love them.

They are beautiful. I think my guess would be Czech

And the amber one is the "rosy" amber shade, not just a dull amber.
So I'd think it is safe to assume all the colours used are the most interesting and desirable shades available.
The ruby looks rather good too. ;)
