We have an old ceramic pitcher bought at a garage sale with no identifying marks. It has a green exterior with raised spider web-like patterns in white, and round raised parts in green and blue. The handle is raised with decorative designs, and the pitcher is 8 inches tall and 7 inches wide, shaped like an upside-down heart with a small mouth and a pour spout. What is the value and origin of this pitcher?

I have two Koi Chinese bowls that are different from others I have seen. The porcelain seems to be of high quality, and they appear to be hand-painted by the same artist. I have no idea how to decipher the Chinese characters on them, which might provide more information. Can you tell me more about these bowls and what they might be worth?

I have some Cecil Beaton 'prints' that I examined under magnification and didn't see any 'dots'. I compared them to a print and they seem different, with one having 'splotches of color' inside an outline. Can you help determine if they are prints or originals?

I have an Emily Post Etiquette book printed in 1922, signed by her, and with a paragraph explaining it's one of two 'test' books before its release, identifiable by its blue binding. The book is in good condition. What is its worth?
