I have two Pati Bannister prints, 'Magnolias' and 'Southern Belle', both in museum-type frames, signed and numbered (271/950 and 42/950 respectively), with COAs. What are their values, and what is the difference between an artist proof, remarque, and signed and numbered prints?

I would like help with the identification and valuation of a 24” oil jar I recently acquired. I think it’s Bauer, but the color is off. The jar is estimated to be from the 1930-1940 period and is in very good condition. The bottom is not signed, but there is a stamp “17” in a box.

What is the value of an antique French tea set with a mark indicating it was made between 1741-1753? The tea set has been passed down through the family and is in perfect condition.

I have a 12" diameter serving tray from the Middletown Plate Co. with stamps on the rear indicating Hard White Metal and the numbers 029 and 12. On the front, there are initials in cursive. I would like to identify the manufacture year and, if possible, the original owners. What else should I know about this design/model?

I have two paintings by Wendell Rogers - one of the south side of the Chatham fish pier with a large boat (24" by 24") and one of Ernest Kendricks' shanty (27x19). The paintings are in very good condition and were painted in approximately 1970. My father and Mr. Rogers were friends. I live in Pennsylvania and would not like to transport them to Cape Cod for appraisal. Should I be insuring these paintings and if so, what price range should I consider?
