I found some vintage glasses, would they be good for tequila?

[bn087]

I was digging around in the old shed behind my house and discovered an OLD box of glasses and perfume bottles. I didnt know if these were candle holders or some type of shot glasses. They would hold about 3-4 ounces apiece. One of them looks like it may hold 5-6 ounces.

One of them looks very close to the flute type shape of a reidel. I only found one of those unfortunately. I did find a set of 6 if you look at the second picture.

These glasses could be anywhere from 5-60 years old. The person who lived here before me stayed for 40 years and the house was built back in the 30's. I do think they were pretty old because they were a chore to clean and I still have some more work to do if I want them to shine.

Let me know if I should try some tequila in them...or if I'm wrong and these are probably candle holders...

As long as they are clean... they look fine. I would use those over a standard water glass, drinking from the bottle, or my hands cupped together.

The glasses in the first picture look very much like turkish tee glasses. The first glass in the second picture looks like a miniture vase, the second is a water glass and the third one seems to be another tee glass although a little bigger:-)
They don't seem so vintage to me. Maybe i'm wrong.
I'd say try them! If it tastes like Gin you shouldn't use them again
