Hi Smiller, and welcome to the GMB.  :)

I'm assuming you're in the States, is that right?

Maybe I can help you a bit.  Yes, you should start a new post for each piece.  You can attach up to 4 pictures each time you post - including a base picture if possible.  For each item posted it's helpful to other members if you give a good descriptive title, eg for the Viking piece something like 'Reddish orange large bowl by Viking'.  That will flag it up to those who might be interested and able to help.

To get you started with the bowl you might try looking here http://www.vikingartglass.com/index.php

Hope this helps and good luck!
Nancy

It would be better to position the piece on a neutral and light background so that we can see the colour.  Just describe what you see and put that in the title.

The GMB doesn't do valuations, -- just an amazing amount of information, advice, knowledge, experience, know-how, etc.

As Nancy says a plain background is much better; white for coloured pieces, dark for colourless one. Your pictures also need to be bigger so we can see detail. Resize high-res ones so that the maximum dimension is about 700 pixels.

We also need the dimensions of the piece in question
