I have a porcelain German doll 24 inches tall with no identifying name or attached information, except for some German text on the bottom plate. How do I get a reasonable estimate of its worth? The doll has been in my wife's possession for at least 50 years and is in perfect condition.

I have an American Belleek vase that is 11 inches tall and 9 inches wide. I cannot see an artist's signature on it. I know nothing about Belleek. Can you provide some background on this piece, such as whether it is hand painted, if it is from a specific collection, if these pieces are mass produced, what the plant shown on it is, and its price?

I have a bottle with the following details on the front: 'R. STEPHENSON trade mark', a picture of a train, '100 Adelaide Place', 'Rose Vale', 'LIVERPOOL'. I cannot find any information about its origins. Can you help identify it?

I have a beige/taupe coiled ceramic vase that my mother gave me years ago, which she claimed came from her grandfather in Sicily. The vase has a rough texture, asymmetrical arms, and my mother wrote 'I love you Susan' in blue sharpie on the bottom. I recently saw similar vases in museums and high-end art galleries in Sicily and southern Italy. What can you tell me about the vase and its potential value?
