While I would love to know the value of this picture, I am really just trying to find some information on the artist.  I have searched the web with no luck. The painting is probably 15 by 24.  It is an oil painting of a girl feeding chickens and signed by Leon Claran.  Any information would be appreciated.

This chair does not seem to be consistent with Stickley Brothers furniture styles.  The label has been nailed into place.  Did the company make cottage furniture?

Any help will be appreciated and reciprocated!

Constantine Cherkas Fisherman's Wharf- Giclee (Large frame). Image size 19.75 X 24, Paper size 23.75 X 28. Total size of edition and numbering breakdown: 1-195; 20 Aps. This is number 169.

Octagonal tureen and cover  blue & white  11 1/8" x 8 1/8 " part of matching set  (see picture #2464new)

 smaller piece shown in one of the pictures has word

 "SCROLL" written inside an ornate "paisley" shape,

 and  a triangular dot pattern of three incised dots

 located  at the lower left of the pattern name (picture

 #2489new)

 larger piece has number 17 incised in bottom and top

 but no identification other than a small mark that

 looks like an X, with the top two projections

 replaced  by fat periods (picture #2490new)

I know very little about this so I think I'll let the pics speak for me.

The bottom seems so have rings etched into it. This makes reading complete words somewhat difficult.  The border looks to be stamped without a relief on the other side.  Needs to be cleaned but because I don't know what the word is before plate I don't if or how I would clean it.  Any suggestion?
