I have a brass cloisonné vase, possibly of Chinese or Japanese origin, in excellent condition with assorted flowers on an intricate brass scroll/black enamelled background. There are no marks indicating origin or manufacture. The vase has a loose 'plug' of clay inside, too large to come out the top but sitting neatly at the bottom. What is the origin and significance of this vase, and what is the purpose of the clay plug inside?

I have 12 Spode Copeland 9” plates (style R6405 handwritten in orange on the back) that were purchased in the late 1920s / early 1940s. The plates have an unusual marking under the style number that looks like a number nine with the round part colored in, also in orange. Most of the plates are in very good condition with signs of wear mostly on the inner ring of the gold pattern, and none are chipped. What is the possible worth of these plates?
