If anyone can point me to where I can get another set of these glasses, you'd be helping to make someone VERY happy. (picture at: www.BobTaylorProductions.com/glasses) They were originally purchased at TJ Maxx but as you likely know, TJ Maxx gets things once and then never again. They must be available somewhere. Please forward any info to : voiceover(at)roadrunner(dot)com thanks in advance bob

Those are what's known as hock glasses, Lisa. I have a very similar set (except mine certainly didn't cost $70)
IMO, it is a fool's errand to attempt to find at retail some ordinary product one found at a discounter in the past. By ordinary I mean generally unidentified and unidentifiable. the kind of glasses I own. Somebody made them, but who did I have not a clue, not since the packaging was thrown away (and maybe not even then).
Even though I make fun of people who know the specific glass they drink wine from ('the Riedel K3000 Bordeaux for full-lipped persons'), those are the glasses one can search for at retail later.
'Some gray glasses with a trojan stem made by somebody' are best sought out at flea markets.
The other place to try is not at wine sites but at glassware collectors/hobbyist sites.
I will not be forwarding this response. You posted your question at a discussion forum. The generally accepted behavior is that you come back and look for answers.

You'll note that in my new kinder gentler approach, while I did say it was foolish to spend time looking for such an item, i also did suggest two different arenas where a search might be better rewarded.
