Is this worth something or is it junk?

[jnerd]

Going through my grandmas things. Two items have been found that might be worth something, or not. We don't know. Would love any help.

To the right collector, maybe. Any local antique dealers? I'd try there

Ditto this. Doesn't hurt to ask someone,

I'd definitely take them to a dealer to check. I kinda like the first one!

No clue on values, but the gold trim on the plate was popular in the 40s/50s I think?

This was the closest match I could find to the marking on the first one.


I'm not sure it's an exact match, but Google tells me it is a Da Qing Qianlong Nian Zhi vase and I see on ebay they are listed between $30-$200, so definitely worth having appraised.

that is amazing!!! Thank you for your help!

No problem jnerd! I'm still working on the other one. Does that first letter look most like an S to you?

I thought rm MacDonald but I'm not sure. The stamp is France.
From what I understand it was my grandmothwr's grandmothers.

I had searched high and low but can't find anything on the plate. Definitely take it with you when you take the vase! Good luck! If you find out you have some rare, special thing that's worth a million dollars I would like a cut

its a bowl.
Does that help?
Has three gold feet.
