I have a clay or ceramic statue that I was told is pre-Columbian and would like to find its value and possibly sell it. I have some photos.

I have a pair of Casteford-type teapots with the number 33 on the bottom of one, featuring a shield with 13 stars on one side and a patriot on the other. How can we verify their origin, and can we send pictures for identification?

I deal in antiques, collectables, and curiosities, specializing in porcelain items (particularly Russian and Danish) and am now collecting ceramics and glass items (particularly from Scandinavia). I plan to visit the USA in about 6 years to bring a large quantity of items in a container to sell while touring the USA for 3-6 months with my wife. My questions are: 1) Is this likely to be a good idea with realistic chances of selling my stock for a fair profit? 2) What would be the cost of hiring and sending a container, including import/customs fees, and hiring a mobile home for 3-6 months? 3) Logistically, how much stock would be needed and what would the import/customs tax likely be on porcelain/ceramic/glass items? Additionally, where do I start in finding good, honest, and reliable antique dealers/customers who are likely to be interested?

I have a Wallace Sterling Silver flatware setting for 8 in the Rose Point pattern, purchased from Marshall Fields in the 40's. It is in very nice shape and marked Wallace Sterling. What is its current value?
