Found these in basement of house I rented in 1966. They appeared to have been there & abandoned quite some time previous to finding. I don't know what is served in them, but I display in china cabinet as they are very attractive. Glasses stand about 6 1/2 inches tall, glass part is about 4 1/4 inches tall & 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Looks like it holds approximately 2 oz.
