China Marbles

Recently purchased some china marbles and was hoping for a bit of insight here.  Seems like the more interesting design (house, person) the more valuable? Any thoughts here?  Anything top shelf?

The black and white one I have not seen before--it reminds me of a "carpet ball". 
Oops, I take that back, there is one in "Everett Grist's Big Book of Marbles" He called them "Painted Chinas".
The left and the right hand ones are called "Lined Chinas" or---"Painted Chinas" as is the flowery looking one.
These were all hand  painted--probably from Germany.
Yes, the more fancy the more valuable—rarity is always a thing though—the black and white seems rare to me.
You need some more opinions for sure.
@bumblebee may have some insight here.

Marble--On!!
