I have a small hand-painted tray with a teapot, creamer, and sugar bowl. I can't find any markings on it, but was wondering if you could offer some information on it. It was my grandmother's.

I have large, heavy green candle holders with rows of glass pendants hanging down. Family history suggests they might be Russian. How can I find out more about their history and value?

I am seeking support in appraising a mask believed to be from the 1920s-1930s. The mask is in fair condition and was given to me by an avid collector of African art and artifacts, specifically masks, who frequently traveled to Africa. What is the value of this mask and where should I go to sell it?

I have a California landscape painting by Marion Kavanaugh Wachtel, titled 'Path Beneath the Trees'. It has been in our basement for decades, and I got it from my mother-in-law's antique shop in Houston 35 years ago. The back of the painting has numbers (3260) but no other information. The painting has a clear signature in the bottom left corner and small marks in the bottom right. How can I determine if it is an original or a print, and how can I get an appraisal?

I have a set of vintage ceramic kitchen canisters. I have a set of 4, and I’m trying to find out who the maker was and if they have any value. The canisters are in perfect condition with no cracks or chips, and I’m guessing they are from the 60’s. The largest 3 are blank on the bottom, but the smallest one has 'CALIF, USA' written by hand in the pottery.
