    These were from my great aunts estate. I think they are a sorbet or sherbet glass? But I don't know the pattern or maker. There is an "optical" effect in the glass.

      Uranium or vaseline glass, glows under U.V lamp, Google for it!
      Sherbet or for champagne?

      Thanks for the feedback - this gives me clues to search further. It could be either sherbet or champagne.
