I found a very old book from 1872 printed in England. The pages, cover, and spine are broken. I believe it may be a first edition, as the binding says 1872-3-4. What is the value of this book and what else should I know about it?

Hi Dan, this vase is in excellent condition, 25cm high, 9cm at its widest, and weighs 604g. It has no maker's mark but is a lovely vase. I know it's Japanese but want to know more about it, whether it's antique, and its value. Thanks.

I have an antique silver bowl with a stamp on the back of AB and two marks I cannot make out. Above that, there’s a stamp ‘logo’ of sorts. The numbers 25483 are also stamped on the base. Could you tell me what that means please?

I have an antique lamp at my shop and need information about it, including its period, style, manufacturer/maker, origin, materials, and estimated value. The lamp measures approximately 26” tall, with the vase and pedestal being 18” tall and 7” wide. It features a reflective purple material on the lid and base, and nature/garden scenes painted on both sides.
