Set of Eight Etched Glass Handled Shot/Cordial Mugs

This is a collection of eight small, clear glass handled mugs, often referred to as shot glasses or cordial glasses due to their diminutive size and design. Each glass features a cylindrical body that flares slightly outward towards the base, which is thick and solid, providing stability. A small, D-shaped handle is attached to the side of each mug, designed for a single finger grip. The most striking feature of these glasses is the decorative etching or frosting pattern on their exterior surfaces. This pattern appears to be composed of a series of stylized, interconnected swirling lines and circular or teardrop-shaped elements, suggesting a floral or organic motif, possibly abstract grapes or berries with leaves. The design is subtly rendered, allowing light to diffuse through the etched areas while the rest of the glass remains clear. The glass appears to be standard soda-lime glass, common for everyday drinkware. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as cracks or large chips visible in the image, although minor scuffs, cloudiness, or residual staining consistent with age and use might be present upon closer inspection. The overall condition appears to be good for utilitarian items of this type, exhibiting a gentle patina reflective of their age, likely mid-20th century, possibly from the 1950s-1970s, based on the etched design style which was popular during that period. No visible manufacturer's marks or signatures are discernible from the provided images. The uniform design and appearance suggest they were likely produced as a set. The craftsmanship is utilitarian but functional, typical of mass-produced glassware.
