Re: Mommas Things
Google puss and boots cookie jar and then go to images and you'll see there's lots of them, some come with more smaller kittens. Prices start at about $100 and go up from there. With all that you have I bet you could open an Etsy shop or EBay and do well. Sorry about the loss of your mother.
Some of the smaller cats are salt and pepper shakers and creamers.
Re: Mommas Things
Do you have any ideas on the other items?
Re: Mommas Things
I don't think the Corningware has a lot of value but would sale at yard sale. I'll see if I can find those busts, they look nice, are there any markings saying who made them? When you have time maybe go through the curio and take individual pics of each item. I'm in no way an expert on this so someone will probably have better advice but Etsy or eBay or using the classifieds here might be a good way to sale.
Just googled white ceramic children's busts antique and found a bunch selling on EBay. The lowest price was starting at $10 another was $30 and there were different versions selling for more so I think it might depend on the maker and age.
