Dear All,
I have been having great fun trying to identify this glass but to no avail. It is:
Height - 15.5cm
Foot Diameter - 6.9cm
Rim Diameter - 7.5cm
I know nothing about glass and bought four of these for my wife (and her wine) quite cheaply. Please tell me if I am wrong but I think they are sherry glasses (after some research on the Internet).
They ring beautifully when lightly tapped but I imagine them to be 1980s/1990s copies of something older. Of course, I have no idea!
Many thanks,
Erakis408

Have you carefully examined the base for faint marks. The cutting reminds me of Webb & Corbett. There mark is often quite faint and may only be partial.
The photo is their typical touch mark.
I rather think this is a wine glass not a sherry - it is rather too large, but not large enough kfor a goblet.

Thankyou Ross. I bought them as wine glasses and my wife was adamant they were for wine, not sherry. She, as always, was right.
I will have a good look at Webb and Corbett and see what I can find.
Many thanks,
