My grandmother passed away suddenly when my mother was young, and didn't tell her anything about these. There is another matching glass as well. I thought they were depression glass but they seem really ornate for that. From what I can learn they seem to be glass cut crystal, but i know nothing about what these patterns are called or anything. The lighting is different in these pictures but they are the same color. Please help!
This looks like Kemple presscut glass.
the bowl appears to be Imperial Glass Nucut #555 and the vase looks like Imperial Glass Nucut #536. Most of the Nucut patterns by Imperial Glass were only identified by number and had no pattern name; tho' some have been given collector names over the years. So you will sometimes see #555 called Whirling Star, while #536 is sometimes called Lace.
