Question: I need help identifying some antique glassware my mother gave me.?

I don't know how to put a picture of this glassware on here. But if anyone is interested in helping, I will send a picture of it to them. The glassware has been in our family for many years, but my mother doesn't remember much about it. I have looked online trying to find similar looking pieces and have had no luck. I am not wanting to sell these pieces. I just would like to know a little history on them.

Replacements.com It took them less than one day to identify a very old pattern for me after I sent the photo to them.

First, don't trust anyone who offers to help you identify it. Go online and google antique glassware information. If you know the approximate period, that will help narrow it down. Find large antique stores in nearby areas, go look around them, and see if you see anything similar. If you do, ask the store person to tell you as much as possible about it. Again, don't tell them you have any. I don't mean to sound paranoid, but until you know what you have, and what the value is, you shouldn't ask others what they think it's worth. (which is why you should find something similar and ask them) Also, have you seen Antiques Roadshow?
