I have been researching online to attempt to find the maker of this apparently black statue whose hat comes off. On the bottom it says "Austria 5" and numbers above that "8058." There also is a very small rectangle with "ZT" next to it. Any information would be helpful.
A: You have a figural tobacco jar. It was made in Austria as marked. Figural tobacco jars were produced in Austria for export to the United States and other countries by numerous pottery companies. The jar you have falls into two categories of collector interest — Black Memorabilia and Tobacco Jars. I think it was made prior to World War I. Potential dollar value is $100 to $200.

Q: My husband received a small painting — round and about the size of a dinner plate. The floral design is painted on a thin piece of wood, almost like a veneer layer. The artist was his great-great grandmother, who lived from 1840 to 1905, so it is fairly old. The back of the piece is cracked in several places, although the picture in the front is not damaged. Do you have any idea of where I could find someone who might be able to restore this type of work?
