I received the two above vases from my grandmother, who received them in 1935. They are frosted green glass with silver overlay. They are of Noveau design. The are unsigned but the smaller glass has the numbers 15-32-8 on the underside and the larger one is marked 11-19-91. The are not for sale, but I have been unable thru EBay, auctions, or appraisers to find out any information on them. This site appears to have many knowledgeable glass collectors. Please take a look and offer any input or suggestions that you have regarding this glass. I would love to know the origin, age, manufacturer etc....ALL opinions are welcome. Thank you for your time....

The bottom of this auction says
"The US Glass Company made these vases. Although this company consisted of dozens of factories making glass, they started using the "Tiffin" or "Tiffinware" trademark in 1927 and today, collectors call most of the US glass products by the name Tiffin. The Rockwell Silver Company of Meriden, Connecticut purchased the blanks from US Glass to decorate. The Rockwell Shield trademark was used by the company from 1907 through 1968. Rockwell went out of business in 1980. "
