These large and rather fragile cocktail glasses were discovered today at a second-hand shop in
a small town outside of Ottawa. They are covered in grime and the labels are intact on two or three. Made in China by Roscher. Amazing that these made it from there and then sat for years unused only to be packaged up, carefully, no doubt, and
relegated to the person fortunate to find them in
all their grimy glory.
