I have a pen and ink drawing on rice paper of a man and woman standing beside a gondola. They appear to be wearing mid-twentieth century dresses, and the whole scene is described as 'fanciful'. At the bottom is a black cat, which I believe represents the artist's signature. Someone once told me it could be by a woman named Brody who killed herself. I would appreciate any information.

I have a collection of antique items from my father, including an Okinawan vase, Imari bowls, Sometsuke items, Japanese wooden folk dolls, a black glaze tsubo vase, an aqua Korean-style crackle glaze vase, an artist-signed Arita Imari plate, an Arita imitating Ming coupe plate, a hand-thrown stoneware trivet, and a Song-style mallet form vase with fish handles. I need help identifying and pricing these items for a sale. Additionally, I want to know if there is a fund established for a town devastated by tornadoes and if it's possible to get your address for further communication.

I have a Doulton Burslem vase in the art nouveau style, featuring raised white narcissus and green leaves on a navy background. The bottom has the code CN.13.1. How can I get an appraisal for this vase?

I have five small Limoges plates with a green stamp on the back and lettering 'W.G.' (William Guerin??) and below these letters there appears to be crossed swords, perhaps, or some type of similar heraldry, and the letter 'C'. Immediately adjacent the 'C' is what appears to be a small underscored 'o' (Company??). There is scroll work to the left and right of these letters which appears as ornate parentheses. 'LIMOGES' sits just above this scroll work and 'FRANCE' just below. A red stamp appears all this, which reads: 'Wm. GUERIN & Co. FRANCE LIMOGES' and finally is reads 'for WRIGHT TYNDALE & VAN RODEN'. What, if anything of value, do I have?

I have a Chinese vase that was given to me as payment for a job. A Chinese girl told me that the mark on the bottom is ancient Chinese and she couldn't read it. Can you tell me what I am possessing, what the markings mean, and if there is any value to this vase?
