My mother passed away last August, and in her attic, I found a doll I remembered seeing at my great-grandmother's when I was small. The story goes that my grandmother (born 1886) and her sister bought the doll for their mother with the first money they made at the beginning of the 1900s. It is a bisque doll, hollow, seated with a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other. It is all bisque, complete with bisque clothing and hair. It has a very sweet expression on her face. That is all I know about it except that it needs cleaning and one leg needs to be placed back on her. The two pieces are there, and it is a clean break. Any help or information is appreciated.

You have an antique circa 1895-1900 German bisque porcelain Piano Baby doll, which is seated upright...

I have some very old Lennox China luncheon plates (8), cups (5), and saucers (4) from the 1920s or early 1930s. The china is pale pink and fluted with hand-painted oriental-looking flowers and gold numbers (2804/p421x26-1) on each piece. Can you tell me the value of these pieces and where I might be able to sell them?

I have a lithographic print signed by Gwyn Jones, titled 'The Market Cross - Mildenhall,' in a wooden frame. The back of the print indicates it is a high-quality edition from the original pen and ink drawing. I am unsure of its value and how to sell it. Can you provide guidance on its potential value and the best way to sell it?

Hi, I have a brown vase which on the bottom it reads Red Wing USA M-1570. I have looked on the internet and did find three other ones which were white, yellow and pink. I cannot find a brown one and they all have different prices. Any info will help. Thank you.

This huge temple jar measures 32" high (without stand), 32 1/2" high (with stand), 17 1/2" wide, and the mouth measures 9" wide (without the lid on). I would like to know what it is (Japanese, Chinese), what the mark on the bottom is, the circa, and the value.

I have a book entitled 'HAND-BOOK NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE' by The Rev. J. Collingwood Bruce LL.D., F.S.A., published in 1863. It includes illustrations, woodcuts, and maps of the district. The binding is attached, and the condition is good for its age. Is there any value to this type of book?
