Always a good idea to educate yourself before you let someone put your stuff for sale...

The pot with cups looks like a chocolate pot.  Can you post a pic of the bottom.

The character looks like a Toby mug....post pic of bottom!

    You have a fun road ahead of you on this journey, that much stuff would have me working for 2 weeks plus.  This is lots of items,  I started thumbing through my books and realized you have hours of looking to do.   The others are a bit swifter at this then I but wanted to maybe suggest pick 1 item or two items in a thread,  This way we can concentrate our effort and draw a conclusion and have a record.  I would love to look into some for you but, got me all dizzy With where to start.

Haviland....limoges .....good!  I would value the set at $100+if all are in pristine condition!  (Hot Chocolate used to be such a delicacy - not your current Nestle or Hershey's easy-get-it item. To serve it was a real treat and was done as ritually as tea.)  You have a very, very beautiful set.
