Need help with silver goblets

Hi,

At the local thrift store, I picked up 2 silver goblets. The only stamp on them is a 925 stamp on the bottom, so I know nothing about them other than that they should be sterling. Please see the pictures below. If you happen to recognize the design or style, any info that you have about them would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg

Definately from India, and I would make sure they are actually silver, I see a lot of silver plated brass from india that looks like this. They look recent also. If they are silver that would be nice.

I took them to a local jeweler. He also thinks they are from India. He said that they are handmade and, based on both weight and a scratch test, they are silver, not silver plated.
