Anthropologie or Vintage?

Which water glasses are your favorite?...for parties and pretty table settings (special occasions, not everyday glasses...not 'special special' occasions...more like when family or friends come over for dinner!)

I want something versatile enough that they will go with different table settings...Yellows, Blues, Greens...

I LOVE the hobnail ($10usd/glass), but they might be a bit on the large size (how big should water glasses be?).  The top three, 'fleur-de-lys' pattern, come in two sizes ($8usd/glass and $6usd/glass).

I would prefer vintage glassware, except I hoped for a set of 12...and that's a tall order.   Etsy has three vintage options that I've been ogling all week ...

Vintage Option 1: set of 10 for $45 + at least $20 shipping
Vintage Option 2: set of 10 $30usd + at least $15 shipping (good value! not as versatile)
Vintage Option 3: set of 10 $40usd+ at least $20 shipping


 Any winners?

UPDATE:

I bought these guys...12 for $37.50 (including taxes) from Urban Barn. A steal!!! (These were the only glasses they had twelve of...the green goblets were also calling my name but they only had 10 left!)...they are large...the dark amber feels very retro!  I am pleased.  They weren't my first choice, but they were a bargain! (yes, a bargain means I can get a second style, with no regrets) ....VERY CASUAL...I am not exactly sure how to build a tablescape around them...but it will all come together....slowly!  THANKS BEATRICE!!!
