I have 5 dinner plates by Ovington Brothers with a stamp on the back that says 'Ovington Brothers, Made in England' and within the makers mark is the word 'Mintons'. The pattern looks somewhat Asian, with pink rim, teal floral vines, and large flowers in the center. I'm looking for the name of the pattern, its value, and any backstory on the relationship between the Ovington Brothers and Mintons.

I have 11 volumes of the pictorial edition of the works of Shakespeare edited by Charles Knight. They are hardback volumes that I received from my mother-in-law 45 years ago. Are they worth anything?

We have a Maria Hesch painting from a collector. We know of the painter, but there is no information on the landscape. The painting is a 16x20 snow landscape with adobe homes and a church in the foreground, rolling hills, sage, and a sky with blue and purple colors. We believe it to be a subject of either Santa Fe or the surrounding area. Is there a way to find the name and valuation of the painting?

My great grandmother's dishes were lost somewhere except for a few pieces. We have a dinner size plate, a salad/dessert plate, and a couple of other pieces. Can you share some history on the pattern and give us a value? We will probably keep these, but would like to know what they are worth. Thank you.

I have an antique dresser and vanity mirror, marked for Bassett Furniture Industries, in the Louis XV style. What is its value and how can I identify if the dovetails are machine-cut or hand-cut?
