I found an interesting piece at Goodwill. It is about 25” tall and 6” base, appears to be Asian, but I am unsure of its age, origin, or approximate value. Is it a fragment from a spiritual venue or a candle holder?

I have a set of china that was my mother's. It is pink flowers with a gold rim, bought approximately 60 years ago. The set includes 12 piece place settings, serving pieces, and various types of glasses. The bottom of each piece says W.S.George Bolera, and there are numbers associated with each piece. The set is in pretty good condition, missing a few pieces with only minor damage. What is the value of this set and how can I sell it?

Can I please get a value on this Effanbee Mickey Boy? I think he is from the 50's but not sure. Thanks in advance.

How much is each appraisal and is it just for furniture? I have a chair with a sticker saying StLouisPark, MN & Bloomington, MN Furniture Store, Parts from Malaysia. It looks like a Bamboo Rattran Barrel Swivel Rocker Chair with double arms, possibly made in the 1960s/1970s. The chair is somewhat faded and some wrapping around the arms is loose. I can send a picture along with a side table in an hourglass shape. I've seen similar chairs on 1stDibs, one asking $975 without the original cushion and double arms, and another painted for a higher price. What condition is the furniture in and is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?

I have a vintage wood cabinet with 6 drawers that open on the side and have little round stains. I believe it might be an apothecary cabinet. I want to know if it's worth anything before I refinish it. It has vintage black knobs, but I don't know the age or maker's mark.
