Anyone know make of these? Unfortunately I do not know the origin. Belonged to my grandmother.

Glasses without markings that look so similar to other patterns make it very difficult to find a brand name.
These glasses have a pattern that looks a lot like a palm frond to me but I feel sure most people would call it fern as it looks like that also.
I did find some similar but nothing really close enough to show.
You may be able to ask your question on one of these sites as they do know a lot about vintage glassware.
Problem: This is not a very good picture. You need a picture with glasses on a solid background. Approximate age would be good also.

This site is good but not too much interest in glassware.

Look for some kind of marking on the bottom. You can also send the pictures to replacements.com, and they can help you identify it.
The pattern is really hard to see in the photo. Can you tell if this one is a match: www.carters.com.au/
It is Stuart Crystal Fern pattern.
If not, let me know and I can check back on some of my other sources. Thanks!
Thank you! Very similar! There is no markings on any of the glassware. There is a set of water glasses plus the custard ones. I think there were 2 miniature glasses as well.
I'm not sure if this is it. They do look similar to Tiffin Cut glasses. The designs aren't the same though.
Try to determine whether your glasses are made of glass or crystal:
- Find a piece of glassware that's about the same size and shape for comparison.
It is difficult to identify crystal stemware manufacturers who made glass between the 17th and 19th centuries. Only by the 1820s companies started to manufacture crystal stemware with manufacturer marks (stickers or acid stamps).
As I understand it, you carefully examined the glasses (with a magnifying glass) and did not find any acid stamps.
The pattern on your glasses (upright fern motif) is indeed very similar to the Stuart Woodchester Fern pattern, but you have not Stuart Crystal glasses.
I tried to find glasses with a similar pattern, but I couldn't.
The pattern with fern leaves, in various interpretations, was very popular during the Victorian era www.worthpoint.com/
Your glasses look like Victorian glasses.
"As a general rule, the bowls of Victorian wines glasses were larger than those of their Georgian and Regency predecessors; in the 18th century, the price of wines fluctuated wildly with the political situation, mostly wars with the French and the imposition of taxation to fund them. In the 19th century the price of wine fell in real terms and the increased size of wine glass bowls gave greater license by which the artistry of engravers and new decorative techniques could be displayed upon a hand blown glass goblet with a large funnel bowl.
