I purchased a green set of China from a woman in London. She told me it was Minton, with model number N3498 and a mark that looks like a backwards 3. Can I send you a picture? Also, how do I begin to expand my knowledge on collecting China? Where is a good start?

I have an A. Giannelli statuette 16" in height with a round base. It depicts a woman with a cloth loosely wrapped around her, breasts exposed, curly hair in a ponytail, left foot slightly behind the right, looking over her left shoulder, with her backside completely exposed and a small box behind her with claw feet and some embellishment. What is the value and any additional information about this piece?

I found a set of Royal Staffordshire that is not represented as an entire dessert set on any site. It includes a coffee pot, cream and sugar, 6 dessert plates, 6 saucers, and 6 coffee cups. I do not think they were ever used by the family. No staining anywhere and no defects. I saw more red and blue pieces of Willow, but not much green. What can you tell me about this set and its value?
