Is this a lampworking tool?
I was given a whole heap of lampworking tools by someone & this tool was amongst them. I've never seen them before but that doesn't mean much they have one side that is curved & one side that is straight. Both sides are serrated.
So is this something lampworkers use or just an everyday tool?

It is a pair of groziers for cutting sheet glass.

Ahhhhh thank you! That explains why it was there, but also why I didnt know what it was. The lady that gave them to me taught lampworking & fusing.

Yes, these are grozing pliars to break scored glass, but I also use them for torching to hold shorts when I am making matched beads or shorts to get to the last bit of glass. Mine look almost as rusty and charred as these too.
