Good luck
Sorry folks. I would expect a $5 price tag on these items at an op shop or market stall. They are new, possibly cute, but in no way antique or...
There's a signature on the painting in the picture, the painting behind the girl. Might be worth a look.
Yup, it really appeals to me. Shame her feet didn't make it, but she's delightful.
It looks like a painting, not a print, and it is rather charming. But I agree that Viva is unlikely to be an artist of renown.
The cute little lady looks very clean and dust-free. Maybe she was in a drawer all her life, but I'd expect sun-fading and a layer of dust if...
I'd've thought the motifs and the base were well wrong. Interesting that tall ships are featuring so much, and I can't be too convinced by little...

Maybe Beswick, English?

Edo period -- "between 1603 and 1868 in the history of Japan" (Wiki). I can't see any reason to think that this beautiful vase isn't 150+ years...
"I think Tony Evans ..." Well found. Round of applause for Janetpjohn.
It is the base that troubles me. It's much cleaner than many of my coffee mugs.
Cute chap, but a little on the fresh side, I reckon.
I'd take a modest punt. It seems the Edo period spans from 1650s to late 1800s so goodness knows where value lies. Yours "feels" and looks like...
Would you strip a veneer? Honest question. Stripping wood is hard enough.
His pink ear, green hat and cravat, wee pipe, stunted hands ... I suspect this is an amateur artist and can't see any age, quality or value...
