Quick answer is No.  
Wrong colour, style and foot. Just pick up any new glass at home and compare .
This glass  is so clear and white possible 1960/70 or even later. I bet you the foot has no pontil mark but clean and smooth.
First lesson in identify old glass is COLOUR. English old glass is always grey but that just means made before the 1920s not necessary very old.

It is very difficult to find a set of eight Georgian glasses. That should set the bell ringing.
 But the one next in the your photo look like much much older glass. If you put a photo of that one we shall be able to tell you. A photo of the base will be most helpful.
Never walk away from a bargain

Pictures against a plain, untextured background, including base and rim shots, without flash are always best (nice sun though). And we need dimensions.
