Oh no! I forgot the cart  .



There we go. Like I said earlier. The woman used to be holding an umbrella, but unfortunately it has broken off.

Also note.... On the figure of the woman being pulled in a cart. She used to be holding an umbrella, which unfortunately has broken off since the last time I saw the piece. All other items shown are in almost perfect condition to my untrained eye.

Antique Questions Forum / Japanese? Antiques?

First I'd like to say hi to everyone on this forum. I'm new here, and after my new found interest in antiques and glass work, I hope to spending some time on this forum learning, and then eventually contributing. My first order of business is trying to get some help identifying some items for my mother. They were all given to her by her grandmother, which would put them around 60-100 years old I'm hoping. Pictures and descriptions follow.

The first piece is a set of one tea cup and the accompanying saucer on a wood stand:





The second is a set of two glass figurines from occupied Japan. The woman is stamped on the bottom with the picture that follows, and the man simply says in small red writing on the bottom "Made In Occupied Japan"




And the third piece is a medium sized bowl:





Any information on when/where these items may have been made, who they may have been made by, and (hopefully?) a ball park idea on price would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance everyone!
