I have a black basalt vase inherited from my mother, which she received from her mother. It has a Wedgwood stamp on the base with an inverted triangle beneath it. I estimate the vase to be at least 100 years old, possibly more. Is the vase of any value?

I purchased a Victorian-era bed with copper cameos or medallions on both the headboard and footboard, each featuring a naked lady with cherubs. The headboard shows her lounging in a field, while the footboard shows her in a forest with cherubs holding fruit. I can't find any similar pieces online. Who would have used such a bed, and what is its value?

What is the value of a set of 8 dark wood print blocks with inset raised wire strips of brass portraits of gods, patrons, famous people, and scroll work of leaves, flowers, and arch above busts of 6 short-bearded men with fancy head-dress, and 1 crowned woman, 1 uncrowned, purchased in India in the 1950s, along with an additional 9th print block featuring hand-carved wood with hearts and flowers? How should these be sold (as a set or individually) and what are the best sites to yield the best price?

I have an antique crocodile handbag and would like to know its worth. The hardware states 'made in Germany' and has a figure like a circle with 'W' and a broken 'E' underneath.
