I have 2 bowls and a pot from my grandparents that I know nothing about. Can you help me? The small bowl has red Chinese characters, the pot says 'MADE IN JAPAN', and the large bowl has no markings. The small bowl has a tiny crack, but the other pieces are undamaged. My grandparents traveled in Japan and China in the 1960s, so I assume they purchased the items then. What can you tell me about these items?

I have a picture with a small signature and year that I can't read. It might be from 2006 or 1966. The picture is of a man, possibly Indian or Spanish, holding a young child with a young man nearby. The man has his arm around the young man. What can you tell me about the painting and its artist?
