China and Porcelain Collectors

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.

10 piece setting it is gorgeous

beautiful pattern, hand painted, the signature dates this piece to around 1920. however it has a robert allen number whose designs were destroyed by fire so most of his could never be duplicated or reproduced. contacted royal doulton usa but they were no help and said to have it appraised. If anyone has any iformation on this pattern I am very interested.

I have a dinner set with bowl and 3 vege side plates condiment set and servers...I am desperately trying to find out the name of the pattern on these items..have looked in Royal Winton books and even contacted them in England and they could not help me at all...

It has a wooden laquered base...it appears as if the copper has been curled into shapes and them painted or emamelled...the inside is a pale green in colour

George and Martha Washington Porcelains  Martha in mint condition, George has slight damage on right arm(was glued back on prior to purchase of product).  Both items are numbered Set No. Z-1001 along with company logo.

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.
