I've done lots of research on these beautiful little goblets and failed to find a match. I'd love to know if anyone could identify them? Bertil Vallien's Dragon range för Boda/Åfors is the closest I can find.
I bought them from a little antique shop in Berwick Upon Tweed and the seller couldn't identify them but said they came with a mid-century Scandinavian glass vase. They're satisfyingly heavy to hold.
Hard to say for sure. The Vallien Dragon wine glasses are very similar in the stem, but with only one knop. The shape of the knop is identical however.
The bowl is different. Most Vallien wine glasses seem to flare at the lip.
Here's my pair:

Someone on the Glass Messages Board may know more, or possibly the Swedish Glass FB group.
We do have members here with expertise in Scandinavian glass, it's just whether they see your post!
I think this is a Gerda Stromberg design
