I have three vintage pens: 1. A Parker with brown and gold stripe highlights, 2. A Parker 51 vacuum 12k gold filled cap with ribbing, and 3. A Waterman's gold and red with a lever. What can you tell me about their value and if the Waterman is a fountain pen?

We have a large piece by Paul Blaine Henri, a serigraph numbered 1/100, signed twice and personalized. It depicts a scene of San Francisco, possibly Chinatown, with a yellow background, a street car, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The inscription reads “For Dutch & Flo” and it is signed in red and black. What is the value of this artwork?

I purchased a 7' 6" x 9' 6" hand-done needlepoint rug at a glamorous estate sale and would like an appraisal on it. I'm interested in knowing where it was made, the year it was made, the materials used, any history or story about it, and your idea of its retail value if sold on platforms like Chairish, Poshmark, or eBay. Additionally, I'm curious about the best platform for selling high-quality rugs if I'm not a dealer.

Can you help me appraise some china? The items are from the late Meiji period, possibly Royal Nippon, Kutani ware, Eiraku, or silver overlay on red-orange glazed porcelain cups and saucers from Japan. Some have chips and one was broken, and I can't find this pattern except for one with a dragon. Are they rare?
