I expected expert opinion, but received generalised comment. Here it is:
"There appears to be some water or
Condensation damage under the glass.
They are lovely works, but not exceptionally
Rare works.
They may be reverse painted on glass
(actually painted on the inside of the glass).
It is difficult to determine without removing
The backing which we do not recommend."
There is no water condensation! None. Why mentioning something like that, but not telling the year it was made, the name of the artist, what kind of method was used to even paint the picture like this? What is the name of this fine painting and who/what does it represent? They were not helpful at all.

Hello Valentina,
I'm sorry to hear you were unhappy with your report. Aside from the comments above, we also stated these were Chinese paintings, made circa 1900. We also gave you auction estimates, an insurance value, and offered our reasoning: "They are lovely, but do have some surface condition issues. Today they are not as rare or scarce as they were prior to internet sales, hence the relatively low values."
The works are unsigned, which unfortunately makes it challenging to determine an artist, as is common when valuing artworks. These were likely to have been made by a local artist to sell to tourists, and as such will not be listed in artist databases. The values given reflect this.
If there was any further specific information you required, please do not hesitate to contact us (info@valuemystuff.com), and we would be very happy to discuss.
Best wishes, VMS
