Is there a mark on the bottom ?? Sometimes it is difficult to find.

I do not see any marks but there is a blank paper sticker and three felt pads. Thank you for your help.

 Looks like a fairly modern form of art glass . That is to say within the last 50 years or so. Lots of glassware of this type is imported.  If I were to guess at their origin I would guess they are from Italy. But that is all it is,,, a guess !!

Hard to guess at value without knowing what they are. I would go to ebay and see if you can find something similar. Go by the selling price there . Any piece of art glass is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. And you never know what that amount is from week to week. You could list them today and get nothing,,or you can list them next week and they go crazy !! You just never know.

I agree with Mart and other glass collectors here.  It's is dang near impossible to ID glass if you don't have any clues to it's origin.  Believe me, I've spent hours and it really is a "needle in a haystack" effort.  One thing I would recommend is to spend a few hours at a larger library that has some books on glass.  That may lead you somewhere but unless you see it in a catalog it'll be hard to say for sure.

Are you looking to sell on eBay or are you just trying to find more info? If your looking to sell it will take some patience and don't expect big $$ without maker or origin info (and even then).  The sheer volume of glass there gives folks lots of options.  Blue is a popular color tho...

http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php  You can try this sight. It looks Murano. They have a Murano Collectors Society and all kinds of glass topics.
