Description
This piece is badly damaged/repaired but still beautiful. It is from a thrift, so I know nothing about it's past life. It is vibrantly painted and has raised white figural designs. These are different on each side. One side is cherubs, the other a couple. Both sides have a figural "cameo" and the date 1717. It has 2 handles with raised faces on them. It can't be a vase, as it is all pierced. Please see pictures. Any help would so very much appreciated. Thank you.

My daughter purchased the rough collie salt and pepper shakers in an antique shop near Sacramento, CA. They are in mint condition and on the bottom of each is stamped Japan, not occupied Japan. Not being knowledgeable, I assume this would make them more valuable. I'm looking to see what they are worth and would appreciate any input.

I have some old pieces of china from my grandmothers house. As far as I have been told my grandfather got it in Japan when he served in WWII and its hand made and hand painted. I have quite a few different pieces of this stuff, its all very delicate and all say "Made in Japan" on the bottom.
I dont know much about it and Im interested in finding out how much its all worth if anything.
