What does this mean?

Hello,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The items presented appear to be three coral sculptures with decorative carvings, including foliage and hatch markings. The items appear to be presented on wooden bases and do not appear to be marked or signed by the artist.

In today's market each item may receive a fair market value estimate of $100 - 500, depending on size. The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of other comparable coral carvings, mostly of Chinese origin. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
