Title: Would like to know about these wine glasses
Post by: Solarso on March 28, 2013, 08:16:43 AM

My wife got some wine and champagne type glasses at an auction.  The auction was for an 85 year old lady that said these glasses were her grandmothers. 
They might be from Czechoslovakia.  We can't find any markings on them.  Any wisdom or suggestions will be appreciated

If you hold the glass by the base, then lightly strike the rim with you nail, in a flicking movement...what sound do you get,..this will help us determine if they are crystal,...

They ring like crystal.  They make a higher pitched tone than I have ever heard from a glass.

your pics are bit blurry, as they are more than likely crystal, they may be Bohemian....
