I have a ceramic candy dish/ashtray that appears to be white and gold with the words 'Palace Tea Co. Xmas Greeting' on it. There is an angel stamped/printed on the side of the base, and the number 45 is written in gold on the bottom. What might be the value of this item?

I have an early Prohart painting that the artist gave to my father, his friend, in the 1950s. The subject matter is of a hut and camp scene in the bush. Size 15"x10", I think oil on board. Excellent condition. Would this be enough information to obtain an approximate valuation?

I have an 1860 Peking incenser brought over by my grandfather from the Boxer Rebellion. It was from the Yuanmingyuan summer residence built by the Manchu emperors in the 18th century. The palace was rebuilt by Empress Dowager Cixi in the 1870s and renamed Yiheyuan. During the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, the palace was destroyed by Western troops and remained dilapidated until the Chinese Communists rebuilt it in the 1950s. My grandfather brought the incenser over during the Boxer Rebellion. I am interested in obtaining a value on the item. What should I do?
