These glasses are either legitimately ancient/Medieval or they are reproductions or fakes.

The spiral pitcher looks Roman, 2nd-4th century, while the bottles with the globule appliqués are likely Islamic. I hope for your sake that you have some originals on your hands. They wouldn't be particularly rare or valuable, but if you have nine, they might add up to something nice.
