Uknown very thin glasses with medallions on opposite sides, and pressed marks along bottom edge, they look like each one was quite a feat to make.

Lovely glasses. Holmegaard made stemware with similar detailing. The hue looks Holmegaard.

looks like these are replicas or at least inspired by medieval glass

in germany called "waldglas".... which means forest glass

and the little dots are called "beerennuppen" in german language....

There's something vaguely familiar about your glasses, but only in terms of having seen them before.  Otherwise, I don't have any idea who made them.

Those are Way Cool glasses... never seen anything like them.  Hand-blown pontil on the base?


Kind regards,

No markings on the base, I can't imagine these were molded. Here's a photo of the base.
