Robert there are many overlay cut to clear pieces on here.
I started looking but haven't gone through all of them

In addition to above -
I've looked through CH British Glass 1800-1914 and can't find anything with the blue transparent glass inner.
There are a number of overlay cut to clear vases in differing forms and they seem to date around mid 19th c 1840-1850 with CH saying 'The obsession for Bohemian-inspired cased and decorated glass reached its zenith at the Great Exhibition and disappeared very quickly after that date.'  page 93
There is one small vase on the left of the page 86 that has a leaf type decoration and is blue over white over clear and is attributed as probably English or French and dates to c late 1840's.  That is the closest one I could find.

Thank you M for the research efforts. In a way I am quite pleased that the light blue transparent inner glass is so elusive to find examples of as it confirms how unusual it is. I have contacted a couple of people who may know something on this subject and I hope they will get back to me with some more information. I will get a copy of CH 1800-1914, in the next fortnight, though I can access a copy locally sooner than that. If I hear or learn anything more, I will let you know!! It is funny, given how many examples there are of this general technique, that this colour combination cannot be found! Thanks again,

Lobmeyr produced a blue over white over a transparent pink (source - Lobmeyr Factory).  I'm curious about the geometric cutting on the neck of the taller bottle.  Is that related to a particular time period maybe?

The flat round one might be a snuff bottle??

according to this link the ones on the link are mid 20thc? but I don't know how correct that is.

I found this the other day for just a few pounds. It has a platic dropper, suggesting this design has been made until very recently and it seems to be a perfume.... though the plum-blue example that started the post is in excess of 70 years old.
