My guess they would be called depression era glass by the age. I'm thinking they where made in and around the mid 1930s. Maybe Diggumup will see this post and add his knowledge. He knows a thing or two on glass of this era I believe?

The pattern looks wheel cut versus etched. It's a simple pattern and a pretty non descript glass blank. Based on the size, I'd say it's a punch cup. Do you have the bowl? I couldn't tell you who made it. I think they date later than the depression era, probably 1940's. Many companies were producing wheel cut glass in that era, particularly stemware. I'm no expert, so take this with a grain of salt.
