I think they are Luminarc - faintly remember seeing labelled ones some years ago...  :)

perhaps. But there are several imitations doing the rounds. You often find them with a little gold foil "made in Taiwan" sticker on the bottom.

Ross, they have TS on them, not TW, if they're right and initialled. They can still be right and not have initials on them.

The quality of the glass in the Festivo copies can also be very poor, often with a green tinge.

I have a candlestick which I believe is a copy of this Pukeberg stick: https://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/ScandinavianGlass#5452595676611386930
the texture is not so well defined, the central bobble does not have a ring of little bobbles circling it and the glass is quite green.

John
