Hello!!  Just wanting to know if anyone can help me with an estimated guess, on what these "Chinese Scholar Rocks w/Rosewood pedestals that have been hand carved to fit each stone, may be worth??  I have reasearched a  tremendous amount of info on the internet & found out a lot about these stones.  I would really like an expert opinion on this particular item, before I deciede to sell.  Thank You for any help or advice that you may have.

can anyone identify these 2 actresses

Beautiful folding screen, 4 panels,

Wedgwood jasperware green 3 dimensional wall hanging. Lady in a garden reading a note with cherub.

they are 2 vases as you can see,i have given you pics of it and it also has royal nippon nishiki on bottom

I was told that this came from a castle in Italy from the antique store salesman.  I wasn't sure if I believed that, but I bought it because I thought it was absolutely beautiful.  It comes in three pieces: base, urn and lid.  It has hand-painted flowers and the background base color has a crackled finish.

I unfortunately have no further information regarding the origin of the trunk and what type of material is on the outside of the trunk.

T. Fradley  mark to reverse, good condition with no cracks or restoration to the main plate,there are a couple of chips to the base rim under the plate.

This is very heavy and looks asian. The woman's eyes look almond shaped. Her nipples are exposed and are painted silver.

Her hair is either braided or decorated and there is a knob shape at the top of her head.

A Jasper Blue Wedgwood Ashtray, found among my mother's things when she was moving recently.  Mom believes that it was purchased by my grandmother during the late 1960's or early 1970's, but she's unsure whether grandma purchased it in Europe or America.  Because Grandma is from Norway, it could have been easily purchased there.

The ashtray features a white bas relief design in the middle of three Grecian women and a pegasus, the rest of the ashtray is unadorned. 

I've searched the web for other ashtrays that look the same, but I haven't found any that were identical.  I found several similar with the three dancing muses design and one with the pegasus design that was much larger and had white adornment around the edge.

I'm not sure if this means that the ashtray is so common that no one bothers to post pictures of it, or if it's something unusual.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photos, I'm not much of a photographer.

Ok, I know this pretty Tiger is at least about 20 years old because I'm 36 and i had the EXACT same tiger when i was about 13 or so. I know when I had it, there was a gold colored chain attached to the loop on it's neck that was also attached to two little cubs on each side. This particular tiger is, of course, a white tiger. It has black stripes and has very little lines randomly painted throughout in what appears to be real gold paint. High gloss finished. It may be hand painted, but in high volume and possibly with many replications. This tiger has the loop on it's neck, however, the cubs are missing so other than the missing cubs, this tiger is in excellent condition. The word "JAPAN" is stamped on the belly along with a number below it, though not readable. I'm sure there has to be someone out there who has seen this beautiful tiger before, if not alone, then with cubs. I'd like to know more of it's history and approximate value.

Thank you

Just as the patchwork cat i've entered previously, I bought this one along with it at a tag sale for $1. I believe it may be pretty old. I think it's porcelain or china, but again, i'm not sure. It looks like a little tabby cat, white underbelly, fading into a tan color on it's back, with black stripes and blackened ear tips. Face looks individual, possibly hand painted. There are absolutely no markings, symbols, signatures or stamps on it. Again, the photos are enclosed, however, the quality is not the greatest but it gives you somewhat of an idea. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about this little cat, some history or value? Any comments appreciated on both.

Thank you

This item is really a mystery to me because i have NO idea what it's made out of. To me it looks kinda like patches of real cloth decoupaged onto a cat, covered with a crackled glaze. The cloth patches have blue and white designs of hearts and flowers. The face appears to be handpainted. It's a pretty heavy cat but not really heavy enough to consider the possiblity of it being made from cast iron. The bottom is covered with a green felt so i'm unable to see what it's made out of from the bottom. There are no signatures, stamps or symbols, nothing. The woman at the tag sale told me that it could possibly be about 50-60 years old, she wasn't too sure either. Can someone please tell me about this pretty cat and if there could possibly be any value to it? I've enclosed pictures, however, i know the photo quality isn't the best but it gives you an idea of what it looks like. Thank you.

Client's father told him that the vase was from the 17th century.  The piece is signed by the artist ("S" over a narrow upside down "V") and marked "Italia."  Was the term "Italia" used back then?  Any thoughts or information about this piece would be greatly appreciated. 

Appears to be a silver plate of St. George(the front) and was made into a box,

welded to another box to make it the way it looks now. A handle is on each side. One person

suggested it may have been a tea box.  My husbands father who was greek, always told him there was a piece of Christs cross in the box. however, the box was opened to find two byzantine coins.

What a surprise. Any help on this would be appreciated.

This beauty of a candy dish is in mint condition with hand painted violets on both sides. The stamp on the back says Leucthenburg, Germany with a castle stamped between the two. It has bold etching on the rim. All offers will be considered.

This 6 cup teapot is in mint condition and was given to my Mother by her Mother. We don't know if it belonged to her family or what the history is behind it. It is etched in gold leaf on an ivory porcelain base. There are no cracks or any imperfections. The mark on the bottom is very distinct as shown in the pictures. HALL 0188  and made in the USA with the engraved S and a gold shape somewhat like a large backward comma beside it. The number makes me think it is one of a series. All offers will be considered.

This Cookie jar has been in our family for 3 generations and stored thousands of delicious cookies. We are now ready to part with it to some other lucky family. It does have one repaired chip as shown in the picture and one not repaired chip also in the rim of the base. Otherwise it is in mint condition and ready to become a real collectors item for someone. All bids will be considered. Stamped on the bottom is 'Los Angeles Potteries 1955'

Very pretty orange floral carved coral or jade?  Not as red as the picture shows.  True solid orange color.

I want to know the value thanks
