I’m trying to find a crystal/glass company with the etching of a crown over a horizontal diamond with 'HC' in the diamond. The items are small, about 4-5 inches tall and 2 inches across, with floral etching on the side. Some have chips on the lip, and they are from my aunt's estate, potentially dating back to the late 1800s. What can you tell me about these items and how should I proceed with selling them?

I have a beautiful beaded purse from my grandmother that dates back to the mid-1800s to 1920s. The condition is excellent, except for the torn silk lining, and the beading is in perfect shape. My grandmother was German. What should I do with it, and what is its potential value?
