LOL, sorry to get your fingers in such a stir typing.  I put 90's and meant to put 1900's.  LOL

I believe your pieces were done by an artist named Dorothy Thorpe  she was an artist who had a decorating studio in the Los Angeles area, from the 1930's and on into the 1950's she purchased glass from various companies, decorated it, and sold it.  She also designed ceramics. I  have a set of glasses done in light green with that clambroth color like yours but mine have  green on bottom & clambroth on top. Mine also has her small stick on label still attached as this is how some pieces were marked.

Mart have owned my set for over 30 years & have searched to find others like them as I know who made them from the label and have come up empty all this time. She was a small artist who decorated and had some custom glass produced from diffrent factories She did beautiful work but many pieces were not mass produced. Her silver band pieces and sand etched pieces are more well known.  Glad to help  :)  heres one example of her work (not like mine or yours frogpatch) but a nice example of her work. http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8025543

I am sorry. I thought I said that they were shiny and gray. Like the color of clambroth or dishwater

Also (in case this caused confusion) the link Wendy posted had clear stems but she also pointed out that they weren't like yours... Just an example of her work.

I almost missed the different part so that's why I am pointing out....
