I have a set of four Medals/Coins with an original case that date to 1813. They are hollow with painted pictures of battles against Napoleon, described by the Bavarians/Prussians/Russians and Austrians. I believe there are only four known in existence, and I have the only one with its original case. The writing of the battles is in German. The pictures are painted. There are two large coins/medals with 12 pictures and 12 stories, and two smaller ones with 8 pictures and 8 stories. Can you find out what these may be valued at?

I have a decorative plate from Rosenthal, Floranada, dated approximately 1929. Can you provide an appraisal of this item?

I am considering purchasing an antique Japanese bronze vase with a grape and vines relief. It does not have an inkan on the bottom, but does have very small kanji characters inside the vase on the bottom with a large symbol like four separate squares that make a diamond shape. The art work (vines) extend around the lip of the vase, which is something I haven't seen like on ordinary Meiji era bronze vases. It looks to have a compressed baluster/lacquer with the bronze comprising all of the high relief features. Would like to know how old it is, because the opinions I have received range from 1600's to early 1900's. The asking price is $1000, but they don't know what it is(estate sale), so I want to know as much as I can before spending that amount of money. Thank you so much for any leads.

This glass vase was part of a purchase from an estate sale. What kind of glass is it? If I were to resell it, how would I describe it and how much should I expect to get for it? It's about 10" tall.

I have a large painting that appears to be painted on silk, with red Chinese family block prints. On the back, it says Houei-Tsong 'Parrot of Five Colors'. I would like to know more about this painting and its value.
