According to Godden, after 1842, impressed marks, "appear in sets of three: month letter, potter's mark and the year cypher." Based on that, I'd...
After “Babes in the Woods” (1846) by John Bell http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/21903369_english-minton-parian-porcelain-babes-in-the-woods I...
Cool to have Australian pair, and they look the best of the three. I think maybe you meant guilloche rather than cloisonne?
The first is Neuschwanstein, in Bavaria. The last looks to be the Matterhorn in Switzerland. They could be prints with color added.
I like that one. Can't be any help other than to say it looks Raku fired to me. It could be South African. You might check a company like The...
Plunkett also worked on films like Kiss Me Kate, and The Prisoner of Zenda. Could be from a lot of different projects. On second thought, it...
Could be 'court' as in attending on Royalty. I don't recall any such scene in Little Women, but it could be some other costume drama.
I'm not seeing the Blues Brothers. The one character is Belushi-ish, but not Belushi. I see no resemblance to Ackroyd in the other.
Could be commercial art. Part of a graphic layout. Lots of commercial artists out there. Talented people, but unknown to the public.
Have a drink.

Are they wood or plastic? If wood, are there any splits or chips? Do the keys work (there's not a lot of movement in them, but the pads should...
I agree that this looks faded. The darker center shows that it was framed for a long period. Can't tell what kind of print it is from the...
It's a decorator mark. The bowl was made by one company and decorated by another. That big mark covers the mark of the porcelain manufacturer....
That's not intentionally frosted. It's not controlled. Hopefully you can clean it, but if it's sick glass it kills any value. You can get away...
Isn't it a pain that nobody ever fills in that information panel on the back.
It's just a conjecture. "Treatment" refers to the medieval style of the rendering. The same subject could have been rendered in a Renaissance,...
Could be Ethiopian. I've seen similar treatments on things called magic scrolls.
It is nicely done.
Post mortems creep me out. If I found one cheap I'd buy it because I know they are salable. But you can bet I'd list it fast, and I'd be happier...
Separate names with a comma.
