Ah, the joys of alcohol...  it has a way of making glass bigger, and people appear more attractive than they really are  :24:

That is my story, and I'm sticking to it -- for giving the wrong size  :spls:  Now we can (maybe) figure this item out....

My guess would be from the US again on the basis of the base. 1920s/30s

At 2" I think you were right on with the shot glass idea.  I've got some tucked away somewhere that are kinda similar and don't know what they are.  Don't think mine glow though.  Have to dig them out sometime.  I agree with Lustrousstone on likely origins.

But Margi, do you know why women are such bad judges of distances (size)?  :24:

Would like to see your glasses, and maybe they glow also........I can lend you a purple ruler. :spls2:

I am not finding anything -- Wonder IF these glasses *could have been* part of a beveled decanter set ?? I dunno know......
