I just received stemware from my parents, but they can't recall the maker. They purchased it in October of 1957.
DESIGN DESCRIPTION:
CUP: Modernist pilsner v-shape of charcoal smoke glass. STEM: Clear glass disc shape with sphere/ball above.
Maybe Danish or Swedish?? Would love to hear your input.
Thanks in advance!

They almost look like one of the Kosta stemware patterns but I can't quite tell from the photos.
How tall are the glasses?
Does the ball in the stem have a bubble in it?
Is the ball stem round or is it squared off somewhat or even segmented?
Can you get a shot of the stem straight on in order to see the stem profile better? Show from where the stem meets the bowl and down. A shot of the bottom of the foot might help too.
