There is more under the gold than just Waldassen Germany on the first stamp and it's illegible on the picture. The gold overlay is also illegible on the photo other than made in Italy. If you can read it all, then could you please tell us what all of it says. It wouldn't hurt to provide more of a picture than just the bottom of one item as well. It would be so much easier to participate if as much information as possible is provided in the initial enquiry instead of batting it back and forth and finding out something really obvious to one of us but maybe not an obvious clue to you. I'm wondering why the party who 'evaluated' it the first time didn't elaborate on it to you, and if they didn't know they could have placed that sort of value on it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry about the picture, it was the only one I had. This tea set was passed down from less than reputable family members.
When they had it valued it wasn't done by an industry professional per se. It will take me a couple of days to get more photos.
