I have an English china teapot with markings that read 'Arthur Wood 1679 Z.' The colors are navy, dark red, grey, and gold. What can you tell me about this teapot and where can I sell it?

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.
