Unmarked Antique Dish set, found in wooden box dated 6/11/39

Category
China
Condition
Fair
Description

I have an incomplete set of antique dishes here. Includes: 2 -8 3/4" Cake plates, 11 -7" plates, 12 -5 5/8" saucers (bowl shape - about an inch deep), 9 teacups, 1 - 6 5/8" bowl (about 3.5" deep), 1 cream pitcher, 1 sugar bowl with lid, 1 tea pot without the lid - broken spout and handle.

The set was packed in a wooden box with a list of pieces and a date written on the inside cover. The list states some pieces that are missing though, 1 plate and the 2 odd cups are missing. All  pieces are unmarked. I believe this set belonged to my husband's great grandmother, Flora S. Woodruff from Washington, CT. The initials E.J.W. are also written on the box - This may be my husband's Grandmother Ellen Jane Woodruff.

The dishes are aged considerably, granted I am no expert. Most of the pieces are crazed, some cracked. When held up to a light, you can see through the cake plates and saucers. The design is raised, a light purple color then, looks to be hand painted gold lines along the design.

Any information on theis set would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

American Belleek Willets tankard - overpriced?

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Mint
Description

I found this tankard in an antique store and the dealer is charging $220.  In my research, I have seen few similar items but some similar tankards seem to be selling for $90-120.  In my research I have also found that some were sold as "blanks" and later painted by more amateur, non-factory artists.  I noticed the oval that the lady is in appears to be off a bit.  It seems to be art nouveau style though and my sense is it is genuine.  It is more of a large mug, though, in my estimation and less of a tankard in the style of say, a Limoges. 

I would like to know if it is real and how much it is worth.  thank you

Antique cabinet

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

We have had this cabinet for about 30 years. When purchased we were told that it was made in the late 1890's. I cannot find any maker's mark anywhere. There are stencils on various parts of the cabinet such as the back, drawer bottoms, and inside in various places. These stencils read "H C Hansen, Holstein IA" and "J Roberts, Sterling Nebraska". I assume these were packing crates that were used to construct the piece. It is 92" high and 38 1/2" wide. I would much appreciate any info anyone might have on the manufacturer of the piece and approximate value.

Thanks!
