Side-on shots and base shots against a plain white background would be useful.

There is a company here which does something very similar. They buy standard footed glasses in Poland and here they cut them diagonally, then sell them on to the florist trade.

oh yes, single flower displays - a rose, an aucuba leaf and a sprig of grass in some florist foam - cheap and cheerful.

Hi Dorry, are you UK   N.E.   by any chance ?  3 glasses the same up here. Unusual and I could not figure them out but 'Funky' suits them well. ;D
Pete. :-)
