I received an unusual Napco piece that appears to be either 2 skunks or 2 cats. The sticker is hard to read but says Napco Japan, and there is a number K4782 on the bottom. The piece is about 4.5 inches in length and 2 inches wide, with the animals sitting upright on what may be tree stumps, holding something in their front paws. They are black with white bellies, feet, and tails, but lack distinct facial features. The label is silver with embossed lettering. What is this piece, and what is its value?

I have a set of antique china pieces including a cup and saucer, and two plates. The cup and saucer are white with a pastel yellow edge and pink flowers, and have a logo reading 'Hand Painted' with another word I can't read. One plate has violets and a logo with a crown and 'BT? - GERMANY', and the other plate has iris flowers and a logo with 'P T - BAVARIA - Bavarian China - Hand Painted - 2707 - 29'. Can you identify these pieces and provide their value?

We have Chinese porcelain and pottery pieces that are said to be very valuable. We have pictures and bottom markings of three pieces. Can I upload pictures for an appraisal?

I picked up a set of glasses and cups today. Are they marked on the bottom, and if not, can you identify them and provide an estimated value?

How much is a slightly damaged black wrought frame cheval mirror worth, which was gifted 5 years ago and measures 4 ft without the stand and 5 ft with the stand?

I have an 18k gold ring with diamonds and a ruby. It's a small size with a crown, 18, and an S. I found it on the beach in about 1965. I'd like to know about the markings and its age. The markings on the shoulders are almost geometric, and I think the stones are called table cut. Is there anything else important the Antiques Appraiser should know?
