The crest on the bottomis green and black with a "W" on top of a star on top of the word bavaria. The teaset was my grandmothers and probibaly came from her family. It is white porcelain with gold, i am assuming 24 carat, overlay , with a gold painted design of a woman and man under a tree on each piece on one side and the same man and woman in a different pose on the other. These persons appear on each piece of the set. Also, on the tea pot there is a hand painted rose above each of the pictures on either side. I am looking to find out more about this tea set, and possibly how much it is worth and if I should insure it or not. Thank you for your help.

I have a dark amber beer bottle with a porcelin stopper. It has this written around the bottle: Ullenmunsler Brauer Bier On the stopper is the same inscription except the word das is in front of the phrase. On the bottom of the bottle is an L on the left and below and in the center is a 0 in a circle. If you can give me any information about this bottle I would very much appreciate it. I found it in the attic of our home and it intrigued me. I know very little German but do know it must be the name of the brewery on the top and bottle. I am interested to know the age of this bottle.There is a picture that I am at a loss to describe under the brewery name as well as on the stopper.
