My girlfriend bought this painting in German in 1986. Recently she took the painting to a local appraiser and he told her it was worthless. I found your website and saw other original oil paintings by A. Franke which seemed to have value. I was wondering if someone could tell me the value and also any information you might have regarding this picture. Thank you very much!
I have 5 6.5" plates, 2 8" plates, and 2 10" plates. There are no chips on them, but there is some wear around the outside edges of all of the plates. The edge of the piece in the picture has about the same wear as all of the other pieces.
Natural, Black Star Sapphire Cabochon, opaque oval untreated. one 5.64ctw and one 5.03ctw.
