I forgot to update you all on my results:
For the first sale (the one with the parrots), I arrived 30 minutes early, had to park far, and this was the line!
Mark and I agreed that it wasn't worth waiting for. I also had work in an hour and a half, so I likely would have been late to work. So I left!
For the second sale I didn't buy anything, because it was all expensive!
So I just got some jewelry for my mom's boss. Got paid back of course, and she loved them too 🙂
She said that vintage jewelry has better quality, and that the today's jewelry is more about its value. Like the diamonds that were put in vintage jewelry tend to last longer than todays.
So I came out empty handed, but with my wallet not empty!😁

The pair of birds were sweet. Those last plates are interesting, they look more European than Chinese. What are the strange-looking animals? Foxes? Sheep? I am on a small screen so maybe mis-seeing. 😊
@khoi Interesting what you say about vintage jewelry. I was never a jewelry buyer but recently at the dentist I had to remove my old gold earrings that I had worn for decades. Afterwards I bought three pairs of vintage silver earrings to have some variation. Since then I started looking at earrings in Jewelers windows. New ones are not only expensive, most of them also don’t look interesting to me. Either boring or too pretentious.

@julia The blue rock thing was a pig carving 🐷
My friend @adamsasianart said the pair of plates may be Japanese. I'm not sure what the two animals depicted on it were. Maybe sea lions?

The Agatha Christie Montblanc fp in image 12 is worth the money if it got its papers. And without damage etc.
In good condition with box and papers they sell for about $2000. Very sought after fountain pen from 1993.
Definitely worth investigating if they drop the price by more than 50%.
Everything else is expensive.

The blue mark and period Tongzhi bowl is worth $200 maybe ask for better price. These will just keep going up. It’s worth about $300 to $350 in right setting. But it can’t have any damage must be excellent condition or otherwise worth much less.
I love those green plates for 60 each, looks like they had an old octagonal Elgin pocket watch like mine, I wear it as a pendant, went to check my husband's never used pen, but it was a Waterman, I have some old ink pens with 14k nibs. My husband bought me an 18k 99 grams Italian bracelet in 1971, which I never wear and it lives at the bank box with an old appraisal from the nineties before the price of gold went crazy. My favorite jewelry is old jewelry, my parents gave me a 14k gold Hamilton wrist watch for my 1970s college graduation, I bought an old 14k retro style wrist watch from the forties and an early 9k wrist watch that the back opens on a hinge like a pocket watch, bought it on Portobello Road in 1995. Family pieces are the best, an old 18k white gold filigree engagement ring that belonged to a Great-Aunt, the bench workmanship is something we are not likely to see again. Oh well, some day someone can bag it. I love old Taxco Mexican jewelry, I wore it on a cruise to Mexico and all the ladies were asking where I bought it, answer "old estate sales in the eighties."
P.S. I forgot my favorite wrist watch, a 14k white gold Wittnauer, that a jeweler charged me 200.00 to have it serviced when it started running fast. I went to wearing swatch and other battery watch after forking over 200.00 to have it serviced. Also an old Seiko base metal top st. St÷el b.v ack 592467 11-4309 self winding mechanical is dependable and lovely with a steel blue face and faceted crystal, it is pretty old now and has never had to be serviced, keeps perfect time.
The pics of the last two plates look like Dr. Wall Worcester
I think you are correct. I was pretty sure they were European, but nothing similar enough turned up on my search terms. However, a quick search on Dr Wall brought up this:

The art of calligraphy - and for the ancient Chinese it certainly was an art - aimed to demonstrate superior control and skill using brush and ink. Calligraphy established itself as one of the major Chinese art forms during the Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), and for two millennia after, all educated men were expected to be proficient at it.
