Set of Three Frosted Glass Votive Holders/Shot Glasses

This set consists of three small glass vessels, designed with a distinct cylindrical profile and a weighted, thick-bottomed base. Each piece is crafted from translucent glass featuring a consistent frosted finish that creates a soft, diffused light effect across the surface. These items appear to serve a dual purpose as either heavy-bottomed shot glasses or votive candle holders. Physically, the glasses exhibit a smooth rim and a straight-walled construction that tapers slightly toward the base. The frosty texture is uniform across the set, though it shows some slight variations in opacity that are typical of mass-produced etched or treated glassware. In terms of condition, there are visible surface scuffs and areas on the frosted coating that show light handling marks, particularly on the rightmost glass where small clear spots appear where the frosting may have been scratched or worn away. There are no obvious chips or structural cracks visible in the photographs. While no maker's marks are discernible from this angle, the simplicity and style suggest contemporary manufacturing, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century. The craftsmanship is functional, focusing on durability and utility rather than artisan hand-blown delicacy.
