Eating from dishes that have images on them which are treated with disrespect is permissible. As for images of zodiac signs, we need to refer to number 94285.
As for images of unveiled women (mutabarrijat), it is not permissible to look at them. You should advise your parents to get rid of the artifacts that bear such images, knowing that advising one's parents is a form of showing kindness to them.
