If you want to know the price that it has sold for in the past, you need to be a basic, professional or power member. You can try it out any of the membership levels for free and look up an object using our 14 day free trial. 2) You can also <b>Ask a Worthologist</b>. They will research your item, provide a description, give you a good idea of the value of your object. There is a small fee for Ask a Worthologist. You can find both the Worthopedia and Ask a Worthologist under the "Research Your Item" tab in the brown menu bar at the top of every page. I hope that is helpful.

In that time I made many Japanese friends, and visited many different ceramic and porcelain centers. Here, in the U.S. a friend has shown me a set of "hizen" porcelain dishes (8 place settings)which were given to her grandmother who was a social worker in New York City in the early 20th Century by a Japanese family who wanted to thank her for all of her help getting them settled. The dishes are beautiful with a butterfly and flower design done in white, blue, red, pink, and yellow, maybe a touch of black along a butterfly's wing. The mark on the underside has a mark similar to the Meissen crossed "poles", with dots at the top and bottom, and dashes on the left and right side of the crossed poles. Above that, there is a T with two lines across the stem of the T, and above that a rounded W, or sideways stacked boxes. Can you help me find info as to the make, year, and history? Thank you very much, Mary Helene Tietz Dear David,
