I thought I'd give this one last try before trying to list these beautiful somethings! They aren't bells because they have no clappers and no place for missing clappers. They aren't stems because they have no foot. I tried researching bottom ups as suggested but I just don't see it. They are crystal, the stems/handles are applied and crooked. Any help with these things would be greatly appreciated! Any idea how to even list them would be nice.
Approximately 5 3/4" tall 2 1/2" in diameter across the rims.
Thanks so very much,
Michelle

I have seen footless goblets like these. I think they were used for the kick-off before a fox hunt. It has been a while so my memory is a little foggy!

They could have been bells. Sometimes, in order to just get them to market quickly and inexpensively, the manufacturer did not add a glass hook inside for the crystal clapper. The clapper was merely glued in with a clear rubber-like round disc that held the small chain and the crystal ball ringer thing. These frequently fell out when washed or the glue just gave out. I've had several bells like that and it's almost impossible to fix them unless you have about 7 fingers on one hand. And very tiny and long plyers.

You might look at these:
There was no reason to have a foot since there was no place to set it down on a saddle. The aids collected them when finished.
