I have stopped buying, for the most part, small liqueur, cordial or sherry glasses. No one want to use these small glasses any longer.
However these glasses are very pretty. I haven’t been able to identify them. For some reason I think they are European. They have a similar shape and ‘feel’ to pieces of Baccarat that I have identified in the past.
As always, if anyone knows anything about this glass i would be grateful for the information.

My guy bought this piece for me ages ago. I was inclined to dismiss it as something that was made two weeks ago in a glass factory. It still may be, but I have come across information about vintage pieces that have this twisted stem.
The bowl size indicates that it was likely made for a sipping drink – port, sherry, cordial, liqueur.
The shape of the bowl is nice, and the amber colour is attractive, but the piece doesn’t ‘speak’ to me at all.
We are having a big yard sale in two weeks. I can see this going to another good home!

This is a very cute little cut glass with an unknown provenance. I have eight that have never been used. I rarely serve liqueurs and when I do I never remember these glasses. They are small but have a real sparkle to them. The foot is cut as well which makes it difficult to locate any signature (or put on a signature) to figure out the origin. Even though they are tiny they do have a pretty little ring.
