I have a vase over 100 years old, which my mother-in-law told me was solid ivory and hand-crafted with beautiful flowers and a blue scenery. It is from Italy and very heavy. I have no name or markings on it. I am curious about its worth and can send a picture. Is there anything else important the appraiser should know, such as the vase having a lot of tiny rose buds, being 9-10 inches high, and having a long oval mouth for flower entry, about 3-4 inches deep? My mother-in-law died at 94, and she got it from her aunt who was 95, so it might be around 100-200 years old.

I have a Capo Di Monti Porcelain Fern stand, 35.5 inches tall, 4 pieces. I would like to sell it and wonder about its value. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know, such as the beautiful scene on the porcelain possibly being the Garden of Eden?

I have a series of three Robert Wee pastels paintings depicting young men, almost partial nude studies, and a fourth piece of a man with a flowing beard. They were purchased from the artist at an art gallery and measure about 19x24 in their frames. I know Robert Wee is known for his landscape paintings, particularly of the ocean. Can you provide any information or estimate the value of these pastels?

I have a 4-piece Whites of Mebane Bedroom Set in the Mandarin pattern, purchased over 25 years ago in Providence, Rhode Island. The set includes a dresser with a mirror, an armoire, a TV stand, and nightstands, all made of solid mahogany wood with solid brass hardware and dovetail drawers. The set needs some refinishing. What is the estimated value of this set, and where can I sell it?
