18th century wine glasses???

Hello, newbie here...I have an interest in most old things and have collections of wristwatches, binoculars, old racing and touring bicycles, vintage clothing and a small collection of vintage glasses and bottles.
Here's a trio that I got recently from a local charity shop, I think they have an 18th century? wine glass look about them but I really am no expert on glass I just like the way it plays with light.
These are obviously hand made from lead crystal (they ring nicely) they are all slightly different but meant to be the same, they have pontil marks underneath and you can see the striations in the glass bowls and air bubble inclusions...the glass isn't as clear as modern lead crystal but to my eye the enraving seems more modern?
Any ideas about these are they genuine 18th century or early 20 'copies'.

cheers in advance, Steve...
