Very pretty set.  If no chips or cracks or repairs, you were smart to keep it.  You might want to take one of the glasses to a jeweler and have it checked for gold in the design.  I'm sure it came from a prominate family and being hand blown, could be one of a kind.  Interesting to see what the others say.

This style was extremely popular in the 1940's!  Take railman's well given advice and have it checked out!
