Mushrooms:
By Desiree Vivea
All right, so "sauteed fun-
gus" doesn't sound exactly
appetizing. But use the word
"mushrooms," instead —
and if you're like me, your
mouth starts watering in
eager anticipation.
Lacking leaves or roots,
and unable to perform photo-
synthesis, this edible fungus
is among the simplest of
plants. And it's simply deli-
cious added to soups, stews,
egg dishes, casseroles,.
salads, or just about any-
thing that could use a touch
of gourmet elegance.
Mushrooms are mostly
water (88 per cent). Evapor-
ation during:shipping and
storage may result in a
rather shriveled product by
the time it reaches the mar-
ket. So be selective when you
shop, and feel free to pick
through your store's fungus
section for only the best -
looking ones.
With most vegetables,
smaller means more tender
and flavorful. This rule does
not apply to Mushrooms, and
larger ones are just as tasty
as small.

Member, Antique
Appraisers Association

Q. 1 have a Hummel Ma-
donna holding the Child. It is
No. 151 and her cloak is light
blue. The mark on the bot-
tom is attached.
Can you tell me the vintage
and the value? '
A. This is Trade Mark No.
2 which was used briefly in
1958. Your Madonna is quite
rare and should be worth at
least $2,000.
Q. Enclosed is a picture of
a porcelain figurine that is
just beautiful. Please tell me
who made it, when, and how
much it is worth.
1 have attached a sketch of
the mark on the bottom.

PORCELAIN FIGURINE
Made by Voigt Bros in late 19th century.
and his do at his feet was
mode by a Vogt Brothers
in Sitzendotf, Gerroohy, dulr-
ing the late 19.th cez$ur .. It
would be worth from $225 to
$275.
Q, You priced a 64 -piece
service for eight of 191b cps,
tury Haviland china at $5.00
to $600 which amounts to
about $8.50 for each piece.,
You also priced a single
Haviland plate of the same
vintage at $25 to $35, which
would make a 64 -piece ser-
vice over $1,500.
1 find that very confusing.
A. There are thousands of
collectors out there trying to
find matching pieces for
broken sets that they already
own. They will pay premium
prices.
On the other hand, collect-
ors are reluctant to buy sets
of china that are not open
stock. They realize that
sooner or later; they are go-
ing to have to look for match-
ing pieces when they break a
plate or cup, etc.
In checking recent prices,
I find a set of six Haviland
plates for $75 ($12.50 each)
and a single plate for $40;
that is typical.
