What they said. I think the tiles were partially printed and finished off by hand.
Not a clue, but it's nice. The back says it's Chinese dyed red coral, so the pin is newer rather than older. Beyond that, maybe someone else...
I'd say leave it as found and let the new owner do what they want. They may have other ideas of repurposing and not want the shelves anyway.

I brought in jewelry and pottery, glassware etc. He sells through a crap-ton of jewelry and is always on the lookout. I bring the earrings etc I...
Nice! I should have gone to an antiques sale in a church, but that would have meant: getting up early three days in a row, spending real money on...
