I have a sculpture fabric art doll by Maria Dingus, a prolific northwest artist. I’m not sure how to price it because I can’t find the name of this doll. The price on the doll is $80, and I purchased it for $5. I believe it is from 2010. Would her work increase in value since 2010? Can you find the name of this piece?

I am considering bidding on a lithograph by Tabor Utley. It is 20x15, with a printed signature that looks different from the etching. The print has a crease from folding. I would like to know the value of the etching and what I might expect to resell it for, as well as the timeframe it was made. Utley was known for landscapes early in his career and pottery later on.

I have a collection of Franciscan Desert Rose dinner plates, dessert bowls, and other tableware. The items have different stamps indicating different years of production. Can you provide an appraisal for these items and explain the difference between auction, retail, and secondary market prices?

I have a tea set that I believe is pre-revolutionary Russian, possibly from the Kuznetsov Dulevo factory. It is a gilt set in fine condition. I would like to know more about its origin, age, and value, and whether the quality of the gilt affects its value.

I have a vintage Converse pullover jacket with the original tag stating it was made in the USA, but the tag with the model number has been removed. The jacket is over 20 years old, in excellent condition with no tears, stitching issues, or stains, and the colors remain vibrant. It hasn't been worn regularly for 10 years and is size medium. What is the value of this jacket?
