GUEST: I received them as a gift after helping a man downsize his home.

APPRAISER: There's no markings on the plates. They're most likely French, and the reason I can tell that is by the porcelain itself. This is a hard paste porcelain, which most French porcelain is, and I know that they're early 19th century based on the porcelain, the style of the painting, and the clothes that the children are wearing. A retail price for this set would fall somewhere in the $1,500 to $2,000 range.

GUEST: Okay, I'm happy.
