Mettlach Plaque
Q: This plate belonged to my grandmother. It’s about 17 1/2 inches in diameter. The back is marked “Mettlach 2998.” How much is it worth?

Czech Luster Tea Set
Q: My mother left me a bright orange tea set that had been in her china cabinet since at least 1940. It includes a teapot, covered sugar, creamer and six cups, saucers and small plates. Pieces are marked on the back with a crown surrounded by the words “Victoria” and “Czecho-Slovakia.” I’ve heard it described as lusterware and would appreciate knowing more about its history and value. Could it have been a wedding gift in 1926?

Fluter
Q: I have never seen an old flat iron like mine. It’s marked “Geneva Hand Fluter” on the top piece. Can you tell me more about it? Value?
