I found a set of 6 handblown glasses(?). They only hold about 2 ounces and the opening on top is only the size of a silver 50 cent piece. They are obviously hand made. Are these really glasses or something else perhaps?

I'm not an expert, but that looks more like a vase or candleholder than a drinking glass.

I was wondering also if these were candle holders. This is from the estate of a Jewish Halocaust survivor--maybe there is some religious meaning to it.

I only know the bare basics of Jewish tradition (shame on my half Jewish mother)--maybe someone a little more religious than I has a clue.

Do these items have mica-like flecks in them?
Are the bases ground, or are there pontil marks?

There are pontil marks on the bottom as well as flecks of mica in the glass.

Just a hunch, because the brownish swirling coloring reminds me of my own vase...check out Loetz Glass.
