    Both of these pieces are approx. 4" wide and 4" high. I have others - long stemmed wine glass and water goblets.

    I was told that my great aunt and uncle would help people out during the depression. It sounds like a pawn shop of sorts. People needed money. My great aunt and uncle would "buy" their possessions and then sell back when they had the capacity to buy back.

    If you know what these are or can send me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. I will go look in the garage for the other pieces.

    I'm not looking for appraisals or anything - I really just want to know what they are. All I know is some kind of crystal with an etched pattern and amber base with swirled stem.

    We've been using them off and on for 50 years.

    Thanks!

      I have found this website very helpful for finding patterns of depression glass.
