A dear friend passed away and he left behind a strange white porcelain monkey holding some fruit and sitting on a stump. Someone told me it was a Dresden Monkey. How would I authenticate that, and what is the item's value and condition?

I have a German bear that growls when turned (and arms & legs move). Dating late 1950’s. Very good condition. Please let me know the value.

I have a Sadler 1922 style teapot, pink ceramic with gold highlights, that has been in my family for over 60 years. It has a worn look but no cracks or chips, with some crazing at the base. The bottom has a crown mark with 'Sadler' and 'made in England' under it, and it's signed '1922 AO' in gold. Is this teapot of value?

I have several Santa figurines left by an elderly friend who passed away two years ago. They are soft, covered in leather, hand-stitched, and hand-painted. The Santas are signed "An Original M. R. M." and dated 1988 and 1990. They have three-dimensional aspects, including beards. What are these figurines called, and do they have any value?
