I have a tea set for six (Superior China Baveria) with 22 carat gold trim. It has been in my family for years and perhaps never used. I have no idea how old it is or how I would get it appraised. Is there anything else the Antiques Appraiser should be aware of?

I have some paintings that belonged to my late uncle and I want to sell them. I don't know much about them. How can I get a fair price and what information do I need to provide to an appraiser?

I have a crystal seder dish that I would like to learn more about. It is 12.5" round, has 6 stars of David, and a symbol in the middle. Can I send pictures?

I have a first edition of 'The Last of the Bighams' copyright 1925. It is a hardback, blueish-purple in color with gold letters on the front and spine. Someone mentioned that the family did not like the book and destroyed most copies, with only two copies found in the last 20 years. I would like to know the value of this book.

My friend has a Ming plate that needs to be valued. It is a Chinese celadon porcelain dish with a slightly shaped rim, decorated in blue at the center with a circular Shou medallion enclosed by five stylised flower vignettes, eight abstract zoomorphic chilong at the rim, and the base has an apocryphal four-character mark of the Chenghua emperor (1465-1487). The dish is 2 inches deep by 10 inches in diameter and has some marring from being hung in a plate hanger.
