I have found some old Royal Doulton china passed down from my grandmother, which belonged to her aunts. Some pieces have written numbers and imprinted numbers on them. Are these pieces worth keeping?

I have two engraved copper moulds by Samuel Henning dated 1827, depicting the scenes 'The Canterbury Pilgrimage' and 'Cavalcade proceeding to the tournament' 1199 from Ivanoe by Sir XXXXX XXXXX. One mould features a scene painted by Thomas Stothard and includes the names M. Colnagh of Cockspur Street and E. C. Moon of Threadneedle Street, London. The other mould has the head of Scott printed vertically at the top/centre and names of characters like WAMBA, CEDRIC, ROWENA, ATHELSTANE, HANNAH, REBECCA, ISAAC, ROBIN HOOD, BOIS GUILBERT, IVANHOE, RICHARD COEUR DE LION in a narrow horizontal groove below the scene. The rectangular title block below this has the title 'CAVALCADE PROCEEDING TO THE TOURNAMENT 1199' and in small print 'HENNING PINXIT ???'. What can you tell me about these moulds?

I have a Howard Chandler Christy print from 1902 titled 'Alice'. I have not been able to find a print with that title anywhere. It measures 18" x 28". It is in what appears to be a very old frame. Do you know anything about it?

I have two antique beer steins I'd like to have appraised. Under the lid, there is some form of artwork. It's small and engraved and it looks like "KTW" with the line of the top of the "T" covering the K and W. There's a star on top of the letters and under that stuff there is an oval. And under the bottom, there is a musical wind-up thing and "KOYO" is engraved on that.

What is the value of a Michael fine bone china cup #2800 with a sunflower design on a blue background, in excellent condition and hardly ever used?
