Very few match and I use them for home made "liquers"- Damson gin, limoncello, Cassis and one I do with rum and spices. Don't have a special glass for whisky, any will do, as being a common heathen I drink mine with ice, so it just needs to be big enough for that.Frugal in Derbyshire https://www.blogger.com/profile/10221169113482164565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-19401764257544631552016-11-10T15:42:56.505+00:002016-11-10T15:42:56.505+00:00I presume the grape pattern is engraved; they coul...I presume the grape pattern is engraved; they could be worth good money.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-55274419849731902592016-11-10T15:41:48.453+00:002016-11-10T15:41:48.453+00:00I quite expect they spent most of their lives at t...I quite expect they spent most of their lives at the back of cupboards; as they do today.
