    Hello, last year I started collecting things I thought were interesting. I had hope to research everything because I love history but I started an urban Farm growing microgreens and it just took off. I have no time to look into the boxes of items I have. I’m hoping someone might let me know if they see anything that could be a value to narrow it down. Extra cash would help expand the farm :) thanks for looking! 9EB85603-515B-4EC1-A4DD-C6FBB1E00620.jpeg A1D35E2F-EC9B-4241-859E-D600473CC53C.jpeg EC0CBD25-1D93-4895-A256-640BE53B855E.jpeg 62184FDC-00C7-44EF-97E9-8CC00889C2AD.jpeg 8493845C-BEE6-4587-BC9A-6797C018F8E7.jpeg 810F0574-C9D8-42DD-88D2-DC85DFDCC010.jpeg 9D0A0D34-0184-4E45-BD8A-6CA89180CC31.jpeg FD82D767-FE47-4498-9ED1-83C1D3470FD4.jpeg DFB8478B-2872-4B81-A788-035EAA8E6BC6.jpeg 88DCED4E-A53D-4606-BC8E-B4DB3A70DFF2.jpeg

    Hi and welcome!

    I think your first bowl is a fairly new one, probably says made in China on the bottom. I'd not think it has great value but it's always worth checking sold prices.

    I found another flower painting by F Belcotte that sold in 2004 for $20.

    The last creamer/pitcher/jug I think is made in Japan. Someone more familiar with the type can probably give you more info.

    I'm not thinking there is great value in these but I could be wrong and frankly something is better than nothing:)

    Agree that #4 is a creamer from Japan. Pre WWI

    Under the McKinley act anything imported after 1891 (I think it was) had to be marked with the country of origin.
    If this was part of a set, other pieces may have been marked and not the creamer.
    I do not think this is as early as the the 1890s. I think this is early 1900s.

    Should add this is just my opinion.
