These two ebay glasses are described as Georgian. Which George?

Neither of them, possibly ;)

Frustrating Stuart, as we all know, but is it even worth bothering to discuss the matter?     I could scream at times with these descriptions............. but ebay either doesn't have the time or isn't bothered about policing this market, and probably all you'd get from the sellers is a mouthful of abuse.

My own opinion is ................   both C20 probably  -  the first listing might have been made almost anywhere, but the second may well be a certain Italian island, bearing in mind what appears to be gold coloured inclusions.

just my opinions of course  -  but we've been down this road before, and nothing ever changes. :'(
