The lady with the tea set looks like Mrs. Doubtfire
😅♥️
Now that you mention it. She looks a lot like Mrs. D. I'm sure she's a sweet lady.
One of my favorite movies!
🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
I always find it so sad when I realize that these clips are more than 30 years old and probably only very few of these people are still alive.😢
The tea set is enchanting. I’m in love with the lily pad saucers.
Can you imagine thé price today ? Wonderful set.xx
I would love those saucers with a majolica frog teacup!
The colours, the designs, the wimsical feel all so so special.
Delightful, while there is Tea, there is HOPE.
David Batty and then John Bly in one clip, two of my favourite experts on the roadshow. Their knowledge, passion, and whimsical playfulness was the stuff of legend.
Cannot take to Batty.
@@garycody1929 well he wasn't all charm and nicety. But he was so brilliant at hiding his enthusiasm and love of an object he could make you feel like you had nothing, then bit by bit, let you know it was a thing of real beauty. A lot of oriental pottery and sculpture remained mysterious to many, and he was the man who revealed it's importance and beauty to many of us. I loved his style.
Bly is still active as far as I know but not in television.
I love that tea set. Just gorgeous. I would use it everyday.
It's wonderful to see David Batty and John By again. I love their manner and style.
OMG, IT'S Mrs. Doubtfire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (with the tea set)
Wonderful people xxx. God bless.❤❤❤
Imagine those colors for a room, delightfully playful and cozy!
Exquisite!
I have to admit that the tea set isn’t my cup of tea but it’s a very playful and creative design
Nobody sets a beautiful dinner table at home anymore as a matter o f@ct most know how. Let alone have the China to do it. As far as sitting down to tea they have no clue. I love to do a a full on tea ceremony ritual. It’s relaxing and very zen. Manners went out the window with the paper cup coffee crowd today.
I saw David Batty in a recent road show, he was old and frail and could hardly hold the japanese vase he was commenting on. It hurt me tremendously to see him like this; not to be able to hold the things he loves so dearly.
@zenperspective. The tree set looks like Mrs. Doubtfire!!😂
This is the kind of item that will always come back into fashion. No doubt. With this age and style it has doubtless been worth much more since this evaluation. (edit: The coffer chest I mean).
Awww. Bless him. Artichoke or asparagus.
Omg! She does and she’s lovely..if this was filmed in 2000, for example, and the guy bought the furniture in 1970 (30 years) for 35 Guineas, with inflation and in US dollars, that’s $820 in 2000 and $1,425 in today’s dollars! I’d be hesitant too! £1,400 in 2000 was £2,128 in 2023 ($3,711 in 2023) ..would have thought a beautiful thing like that that’s almost 400 years old would be worth more!
This is what blows my mind: tea set with two cups from the 1970's is double the value of a hand carved linen chest from 1766. Crazy isn't it?!
I guess you mean the 1870s.
The second guy was a real character
The English are so polite.
lady, it is my honour to inform you that you can always, always tell the true Englishman by his manners. A very good day to you.
If only I could find something of value
Robin Williams (Mrs. Doubtfire) is alive!
I agree with the other comment she looks like Mrs Doubtfire
She does
Thought the chest would have been worth more.
Why does everyone in this video seem like they could be characters in a British tv show?😂
I don’t like majolica, so I’d sell it in a heartbeat. The problem with this show is that their ‘estimates’ and the actual sale price are often divergent.
Have you watched antiques road trip? it is almost impossible to give a completely accurate estimate of a sale price. One of the very best experts on the antiques road trip programme, Paul Laidlaw, bought an antique camera for £60; he thought it might sell for £200- £300. At auction it went for £20,000.
@@edeledeledel5490 That’s nice. Refer to my comment.
@@Djm8520 I'm not sure it's a 'problem' - just a fact. You couldn't reasonably expect anything else.
@@lindseytaylor-guthartz1236 It is a problem because many people believe that’s the actual market value.
@@Djm8520 The "market value" is hard to estimate when there are only a few people willing to pay top price for something rarely seen. The art of the auctioneer includes getting two wealthy collectors to compete in public, so that ego takes over from common sense. The sum paid then goes down in the records, but there's no telling what will happen if a similar object turns up a week or a year later.
Had her father bought a house with the fifty quid, he’d have made a lot more profit.
A house for £50 - would have been a really crappy house; the average house price in the UK in 1926 was £619, according to a recent review., so cheap terraced house would probably have been about £250.
My mother was offered a 2 up 2 down in 1964 - 65 for £90 ! It still stands today and is 2 or 3 miles north of Luton . Her parents wouldn't lend her the money .
People don't have large rooms for such furniture in 21st Century as new homes are built like rabbits warrens!
How can one put a price on a tea pot that mean's so much to another?
🤣
I cringed when he tipped the 300+ year old chest onto its back legs.
That chest has been lacquered to hell
No it wasn't 1991 - mentions the last Minton tea set he saw was in 1993, so either he is wrong, or it must be after that.
No he said 1973
@@peterlarkin762 No definitely 1993. The road show did come from Merthyr Tydfil in 1991, but there are two clips; possibly only the second came from Merthyr in 1991. Or he just misspoke, or it's from another later show.
@@edeledeledel5490 at 0:38 he says 1973.
@@DavidAndTheDog No he doesn't!
@@edeledeledel5490 He says 1973. Go get your ears tested.
10 to 15,000 pounds crap way over
