    Found these in a backroom and am wondering if they have any value? Are they old or contemporary? Two glasses per box (approx 104mm high with 55mm diam top and 40mm diam base). No two are the same so must be handcarved? Blue glass is in relief. Can anyone advise? Thank you

      These modern Chinese cameo glass items are now made by masking and either sandblasting or acid etching to get the relief, different to the older Peking glass which was hand ground. They do beautiful work I think and are really undervalued in the West.
