I have a painting my grandmother made that is textured (raised) and signed by her. My grandmother was an artist for a lamp company based in Philadelphia and painted the raised designs on their lamps. The painting is in excellent condition and is approximately 60+ years old. What is the value of this painting and what else should I know about it?

I have found a copy of 'The Ancient Architecture of England Part I' by John Carter, London 1806, in good condition with some wear on the corners of the binding and discoloration on some pages. Additionally, I have discovered a folio from 1909, 'The Architectural Forms of the Classic Ages' by Constantin Uhde, which is in excellent condition. What is the value of these items?

I have a small silver oval dish with a leaf pattern on both ends. The bottom reads 'International' followed by a small figure that looks like a ram, and 'D 1 8 3'. My grandmother gave it to my mother who was born in 1923, and I think my grandmother was born in 1889. The condition is excellent with a few minor scratches. What is the history and value of this dish?

I have a German tea set that I was given and I wondered whether it was my Great Great Grandmother's. The tea set has the markings 'Royal Porzellan Baravia KM Germany Handarbeit 29'. It is very well used and my mother thought it was her great grandmother's. I estimate it to be around 100 years old, but I'm not sure. What can you tell me about its age, value, and how to sell it?
