Default Need help photographing glass items in curio cabinet

I am attempting to take pictures of our curio cabinet filled with glass items and a mirror back. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to go about this without taking all items out of cabinet?

Thanks in advance!

What are the issues/challenges in the attempts you have made so far?
Lighting glass is not easy, lighting multiple glass items with a mirror in the mix is infinitely more challenging...no external lighting, flags & gobo with a fixed lens camera and you have upped the challenge even more... At some point you'll probably have to accept some limitations in the results... so i'd key in on the biggest issue and see if tackling that doesn't get you close enough...
