Family Antiques Non Haul: Thoughts on Heirlooms and Legacies [CC]

I inherited some antiques from my family and they are amazing and weird! Let me share them with you as I explore the origin of these antiques, as well as my thoughts on family legacies. What does a family heirloom mean to me, and should it mean more or less? Are these antiques more valuable because they came from family rather than an antique shop?

This isn't really an antiques haul, it's more of an excuse to do a little research into historical objects, you know? Hopefully you don't mind.

These family heirlooms were gifted by my cousin Louella. I am so pleased to have historical furniture, fixtures, photos, and accessories in my home, but more importantly I am grateful to have family who are willing to think of me when they see those antiques.

A note about the term "Mikado" for the Carnival Glass pattern:
I tried to find a discussion about the pattern in particular, but alas I couldn't. In the course of my research, I found that rather than being directly offensive, this word is largely so obsolete in Japan as to baffle Japanese scholars as to its continued use in English. An equivalent (without the baggage of colonialism and orientalism) might be the use of the term "The Sovereign" to refer to a generic English motif. It's more odd and meaningless than directly offensive. See below quote from Kanʼichi Asakawa:

"We purposely avoid, in spite of its wide usage in foreign literature, the misleading term *Mikado*. If it be not for the natural curiosity of the races, which always seeks something novel and loves to call foreign things by foreign names, it is hard to understand why this obsolete and ambiguous word should so sedulously be retained. It originally meant not only the Sovereign, but also his house, the court, and even the State[...]. The native Japanese employ the term neither in speech nor in writing."
