I'm not sure what these are really. each is just under 4 inches tall and has a design of a boy before and after tossing a ring. the raised glass work is beautifully done on very old blown [wavy] amber glass. The shape of them is odd. The bottoms are obviously cut and there are some gilt numbers on the bottom which i can't make out. any info appreciated!
known as 'Mary Gregory' style:

thank you TallCakes! that is something to go on. i think they are large shot glasses. you start with the pre-tossed one and end w/ the tossed one - birds and all! they have a faint smell of bourbon / whiskey.
Yes! Nicely done Mary Gregory glasses!
I have seen these before in an antique shop. Nice!
thank you betweenthelens and vintagelamp!
