I love the appraiser. She seems so happy and genuinely awe-struck, like it's the best day of her life just being in these objects' presence
They all have something that they would love to see come through the door, but even they see stuff they never thought they would see walk through the door.
@NWAZ flatEarther
Yeeech, you sound desperate.
There's something remarkable about seeing pieces of history being kept in such pristine condition, especially having the crate and everything.
Imagine if their aunt had not gotten tiffany pieces, but 1920's beanie babies or something!
This looks like something my 10 year old son would make in his art class. I can't believe the ridiculousness of stuff like this when so many people are in need right now. P.s. I know you posted your comment a year ago and things were much different.
@@jimsmith7326 Mmmm to each their own. Even before COVID people were suffering and people always were very disgruntled at art in general. I don't think today is any exception. But I do understand where you're coming from. It's a bit infuriating when millions are struggling and there are pieces of art that could pay off mortgages, where is the fairness in that right? But we also have to consider that these pieces are valued so highly because of their rarity, so it's not like many people are walking away like bandits with millions. It's just a select few (and that's even if they're actually selling).
@@jimsmith7326 has your son got any on sale. i ll buy one. i ll give you a good price. 😁😂🤣
@@jimsmith7326 😂😂🤣🤣🥲🥲🥲
I absolutely love the old aunt that bought and simply stored such works of art. In her lifetime she might have been considered kooky when she was more prescient than everyone. I wish they had spoken about her.
Rich woman buys art during time when most are starving. There's your story.
It probably was used as it has that sort of look about it but probably kept the container it came in.
She's dead now and doesn't get to bask in the glory of her riches......and also an example of, you can't take it with you when you go....so what's the point?
Wow!! The crate...the straw shipping material... the vases... and her humble, sweet reaction ❤ THIS is what makes Antiques Roadshow so wonderful!!
That moment around 3:40 when the appraiser cannot contain her glee with the art and giggles... I LOVE that! Just like another clip where the older gentleman was appraising stone lion figurines from China and was so filled with awe that his voice broke. It's so great to see an enthusiast come face to face with something they've admired for so long... and to be able to touch it! Fun. Great upload, thanks!
Arlie still gets that excited when talking about this appraisal to this day. It was truly a special moment!
@ 4:45 she felt the orgasm of joy
That lava vase, would be at the store immediately; appreciate its value (because it's a Tiffany), but it's really ugly, whereas the morning glory paper weight is beautiful. Tiffany started as stained glass art (art major) and look what a name it has become! Compare all the famous artists through history, and not many people have heard of them, whereas everyone has heard of Tiffany,
@@radbarij Ooooo I see it! It's the eyes
She might‘ve peed her pants a lil bit! That was genuine! 😂
I have a lava lamp from my college days when I went through depression. I wonder if it's worth as much
😂😂
Glenn I’m sure it’s worth much more fml
LMFAOOOOOO
😅
Probably was worth more then if one was smoking a little 🤭🤫😉
When museums have similar examples they've displayed for 100 years you got something worth serious $
100 years is barely antique in the UK

I love when appraisers are blown away. There should be an Antiques Roadshow compilation with the appraisers having their minds blown/speechless/tear up.
Navajo Blanket, Boston Red Sox cards, Chinese Dragon, H.F Farny, Seymour Card Table, Patek Philippe Watch, Rôlex Watch......they are all here on UA-cam. CLICK and Enjoy.
That’s amazing. My only dealing with Tiffany was about 20 years ago whilst shopping in New York. I came across a lighting shop as they had a Tiffany lamp In the window. When I looked at about 50 other lamps, I said which are original Tiffany lamp. “They all are “I was informed. “Are you interested to buy I was asked, no I replied, they are outside my price range ! Well I will sell you an original Tiffany piece today, she said.
I was then taken downstairs, where several pieces of glass were placed on a table. “These are the last pieces of glass from the Tiffany kiln from the factory before it closed,I was told. How much are they I asked, $50 each,great I will have one please. There you are the lady replied, you own a piece of Tiffany history.
Worth a lot more than $50 today. Demand has grown and clearly the supply has not.
This isn't quite the same, but I once spent $4 on a vase at a thrift store that ended up being a $500 Moorcroft.
I paid $90 for an antique padlock with freemason symbols on it. Made a key and sold it for $1750.00.
I love treasure hunting
Lucky you
My girlfriend just did the same thing. She found a depression-glass bowl of some kind, bought it, and in the car told me its name (don't remember what it was called, I wasn't listening lol). But she mentioned depression glass often faded, because people would wash it in the dish washer. Inside the bowl, the colors were a little faded, but that was because it was hand-wash from use. I asked if it was ruined, and she said "Compared to how most of this type of glass usually looks, this is considered in very good condition, just short of perfect."
I think she said she could make $200-$300 on the bowl if sold online. She bought it for $4 at a Goodwill. Guarantee you that's a situation where some grandkids emptied out grandma's stuff and just tossed them towards Goodwill. We were very lucky.
original buyer must have been very well off to purchase art glass during the depression, unuasual to say the least
Definitely! She is one lucky niece ☺
Exactly what I thought...
Actually items like this would be at their cheapest in the depression because the number of people that could casually buy it plummeted. Just like in a housing bubble a multi-million dollar home is worth in hundred-thousands after the bubble bursts simply because the seller wants to get rid of it to anyone that could buy it.
Of course cheap for rich people is still to rich for a normal person.
lol they robbed it
you got that right. people were starving while others could buy art jts do weird how peoples roads are so different in life
It just goes to show you, never judge a vase by it's shape and warping. Love that the crate is still around and worth more than what one the yellow and white vase.
Hi rosa
I thought that too😀😀
It’s spelled Vos according to the video:)
Her aunt knew what she was doing. That smart lady gave her next generations a lot of wealth , good for them.
That is just amazing. The pieces look like new and she kept the crate! Wauw.
Hey Sis, what did the appraiser say? Oh, nothing special...
J PR lololol exactly !!
@Steven Hickman And you don't possess a sense of humor.
...she said those were all fake Tiffany...Dang mom would be pist😜
😂😂
@@sophia66404 then she disappears on a permanent vacation
I love to see people get such pleasant surprises at the Antiques Roadshow (or anytime/anywhere).
The cancelled check in the crate is made out to Tiffany in the amount of $100.00. That was a pretty good investment.
Yeah when people made 5 or 6 dollars a week.
You have to keep inflation in mind.
to be fair $100 in 1930 is like $238,000 today
JESUSISMYFATHER777 you didn’t get the joke. You dummy
@@christopherpavlacka *you're, also the dollar sign goes *before* the numbers, such as $1500. Also I don't think Jesus would like you insulting people. 😁
I’m so happy for her.
Donate the box to a museum, sell the rest ... enjoy your life. From someone else’s depression comes joy.
Jude74 yep!
id say, keep the basic vase, its not hugely valuable but it's beautiful, and you know basically what its worth. The expensive vase, which is much more valuable but kinda ugly, sell that and get some money. I don't know if a museum would want just that box, I personally would sell it cheap to a collector that would like something like that. Sell the expensive vase, sell the box cheap to someone, and keep the cheaper vase because of its lack of huge value, and its just a nice looking vase for any area.
The Charles Homer Morse Museum would love the box. It is right up their alley.
james friel But don’t forget, she has to split it with her brother and in the end may have to sell it for less than appraised. They should hold on to it until either of them really needs the money. Tiffany on this level will always be collectible.
$12,000 for research and development in 1914 is about $304,000 in today's money. That's a fair chunk of change just for art glass pieces.
No it is a lot more than that. It is about $6.5 million in today's money.
now I wish I'd kept all my depression era Tiffany crates
Me too. But they were taking up too much space in the root seller.
Final value around $200k...
Pawn Stars Rick: Let me give you $9 grand...it’s gonna take a lot of room in my shop.
kb coop “I’m not an expert in old glassware, so I brought in my buddy George from the Subway shop next door for an expert opinion...”
I gotta make a display case, will sit for awhile before a buyer sees it, George from Subway says he keeps pencils in his... yeah.. 9 grand is the most I can give... Chum.. write her up.
kb coop u mind if I call expert n
Corey: I'll give you $1,000
Old Man: I'll give you $50
"I gotta frame in. It's gonna sit in my shop for who knows how long..."
I think the appraiser is more excited than the owner lol
lady newunit You need to go back and revisit the moment the owner is told of the vase’s worth! Sad how some people are so quick to judge, and judge falsely.
Yes the appraiser would have kept the lava vase.
lady newunit as it’s supposed to be. It will such a dream job 🤗🤗
@@mansahasare9450 yes it is!
1. People express emotions in various ways.
2. It's not like the vase instantly turns into 100+k. I imagine if she sold it at an auction or wherever she would be very much feeling that things value.
I absolutely love Arlie Sulka and Tiffany.
Wow!! Just wow. The vases are so beautiful too!
This is addictive, love watching them get excited when they tell them the value of the piece.
Her aunt had a good eye.
My Aunt had a lazy eye. 😜
Tiffany art glass was the best-of-the-best. She knew she wasn't gambling.
Knowing me, I would gather up my things and head to the car. I would trip over a crack in the sidewalk and break everything 😂
I realize that I have not got a collector's eye. That vase would never stand out to me. The other two yes. Such is life.
That crate is actually my favorite part.
SOLD! I love art glass and these are nice, but I need >200K more than I need three more vases no matter from whom I inherited them.
You bet!!!!
WONDERFUL!! Absolutely love these clips~ thank you so much for posting! =)
Always save the box
But my girlfriend always urges me to throw the Apple boxes away!
That's what I always say😂😂
In a hundred years... Appraiser " This Amazon box is a very rare shape from the Amazon company circa 2019" It's worth 2 chickens and a goat. " Wow" everyone says..
@@Agropelters 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Agropelters 👍👍👍😎👌
Should I go there with random old vase they'd be like "yeah this is worth maybe $2 on a good day, gtfo" fml.
HA! “Where is my brother”....her next thought was I need to take off before he finds out I have to split this with him.
I got a bit teary-eyed, not gonna lie.
same. this time over the appraisers reaction.
My grandma was making soup out of cabbage in the late 20's depression!
Mine were out in the woods picking polk salad.
I make cabbage soup 😞
@@janewiery9545 Me too, Jane! And we love it.
Wow! Love seeing these finds.
Love the Lady...love her story and her Tiffany things....👍👍👍💛💛💛💛
The appraiser has a wonderful smile
I think she has beautiful hands .
Nice bit of production in the piece to leave the best to last. You don't see a reveal like that too often.
Crate and barrel! That lava vase is gorgeous!
I could walk past that fugly lava vase a million times in an antique shop and never look twice at it😆
I love the yellow one
STUNNING
I would be thrilled to have brought the appraisers dream piece in and share in their emotional investment and been thankful to them. It’s disappointing they aren’t.
I absolutely love the last vase.
Fabulous reveal.
Sell your glass and have fun with the cash, before you pass and your kids spend it for you... 😎
I agree
Or, sell it and give them half. Once you are dead, money doesn't matter. That way you could see their enjoyment!
Robert Sparkes what a peasant! You don't sell the family history for a couple of days at Disney-world
@@spencerwilton5831 200000 isn't a day at disney world but you're right it isn't even a house. However it would let them retire early.
Don't break it....
People in the comments on these videos always say to sell these things and enjoy the cash-but money isn’t everything. Yeah, you could have 100k, but you will never get another Tiffany vase of such rarity, and you can’t replace the family history or memories it holds. I understand selling things if you have financial woes, but I would personally never sell something given to me unless absolutely necessary, bc money comes and goes, but the object and it’s meaning are irreplaceable.
Stephanie Leigh But you know.... no more worries about bills and food...
Well,if it pays ur loans, coversurhealthcare bills or can enable a long desired world trip, would u still keep the things? Besides,now that their actual value is out,it could easily be stolen,leaving neither the product or the money. Better to sell to a museum or a collector who appreciates it for its true value
If you hold a lamp over financial stability you have some serious logistics issues to sort out. You could just as easily spend $1,000 on something new and pass it on to another family member who will cherish it. The aunt more than likely wouldn't tell them not to sell her art collection realizing that it had soared in value to thousands of times what she had purchased it for. You may not be able to find the same vase ever again, but art is a replenishable resource.
Cant take these things with you when you die. Might as well sell em and give yourself experiences and memories to go out with.
risa parkinson What a pleb.
Im more excited of the fact the crate states Norwalk, Ct...my hometown! That was cooler to me! Soo much history in that town and I learn so much more as I get older that blows me away!
I LOVE❤THESE VASES
I love that crate! Not so much the paperweight. But the Lava Vase? One for the cause. It's spectacular! Great stuff!
Time to sell! Now!
Thank you, Arlie Sulka, for perfectly manicured hands :o)
It belongs in a museum.
Holy cow GOLD MINE
Auntie bought those vases, mind you in the depression era, to think it'll be pass down from generations to generation. But after one gen, it gets sold. 😂😂
I wish I could find an ugly vase worth $100,000
Me too....lol
You can try and find my ugly sister she's probably worth around $100 bucks
Lol. Very ugly
That would be hard for a neanderthal. Gotta have an eye for craftsmanship and an intellect which can discern quality.
@@frannydarko2698 aaahaha
As a low-level Tiffany Studios collector, I have to thank every one of you on this thread who thinks these masterpieces are ugly. You make my collecting life so much easier.
And if anyone here actually does what to get into collecting Tiffany Studios pieces, my advice to you is first, do your research. Second, know your dealer. And third, know your Market. If it is legitimate Tiffany you need to find the correct price point between what the market will bear and what you can afford.
I believe that "straw" is called excelsior madam.
u mean that harry potter spell?
Good for her. That's great!
I took a vase like that out of the kiln in high school along with a couple of ceramic turtles
The crate is so large, I wonder if there were other things in it that weren't presented during the episode.
Probably was but we will never know.
Tiffany could have been inside!
Nah, Tiffany just packs like amazon.
@@sarahwaters8262 best comment 🏆
Well those would be making an appearance at the next Sotheby's auction.
Omg such beautiful glass. I would die!
Beautiful！
Wooooow!!
Time to go vase shopping!
I notice that a lot of viewers of this upload marvel at, and can't believe, the prices that the Morning Glory and Lava vases are worth today. The prices today are so high because of their pedigree but also because while most were not collected as art when they were made, since the late '50s and early '60s their beauty and rarity were "re-discovered" which made them extremely sought after by an ever increasing number of collectors.
When these vases (ie. the rare paperweight and lava vases) were made, stretching from their early progenitors in the early 1880's to when L.C. Tiffany was old and not in good health around 1920 he turned the factory over to his right hand man Nash to run. Louis Tiffany deliberately patterned many of his vases (and lamps) after nature, and the public were extremely impressed with them and they, along with other artist's works helped pioneer Art Nouveau. However, make no mistake in thinking that just because the vases were made when a dollar bought a whole lot more than today that L.C.T. priced his works cheap. He priced the better works at very high prices for the day as he did not particularly want them in the homes of the middle class. He spent a lot to pioneer the materials and techniques, as well as paying for top glass chemists and artisans of the day, some of those proven experienced glass workers which he paid to bring over from England. He really didn't make the vases himself, but he did employ some of the very best glass artisans to do so. He spent a lot of his inheritance from his father's silver shop to fund what would eventually prove to be a money losing business, especially when the magic of his works wore off over the 40+ years of his business.
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Imagine what a little more hay would have done!
Wow, undelievable!
"But wait...there's more!" It looks like a vase I made in a pottery class when I was in the 2nd grade.

Absolutely beautiful, all three pieces! Oh, I'm so deeply in love with the pastell piece :o)
Such extraordinary perfect pieces are what art is all about: ideals :o)
To save the shipping crate they must have felt the crate and contents would be a very good investment.
I hope AR keeps a defibrillator handy cuz more times than not every show has At least one appraiser saying that "... when I saw you walk in with that, my heart stopped ..."
As once again we heard here
WOW!♥️
Im gonna be that aunt!! 🤞🏾🙏🏾
I would not trust myself handling the precious glass ... was so nervous they were going to knock it over.
Imagine that thing dropping from that height. Boom, Gone!
Sweet...
The fact it was not about the price..it's the story behind in make it extra value
Amazing
Great woman, great stuff
Wow just Wow!🐝🍯🐝🌸🌷🐝🐝🌷🌻🌺
Minor nitpick: The packing material in the crate is excelsior, not straw.
Ha! I always wondered what that packing material is--obviously, it's not genuine "straw" (not dried plant stalks--there are no visible segments/joints).
It's funny.that people find these ugly. I think they're gorgeous.
Awesome how that wooden crate is worth more than the cheapest art item there xD lava lamp is amazing!
Apparently the catalogues never mentioned the technique used in the production of Lava vases; it was highly proprietary.
Tiffany geeks all over the world: "I WANT THAT VASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Wow 🥰
Pawn Stars would offer you $12,500 for the entire lot and tell you "I have to make money. theres no money if I go higher then that."
I hate that show!
Jason K
You know I'm taking all the risks.
Then when Rick the prick finds out its worth double he paid he has a chuckle
Very cool. To my eye that lava vase is just ... really ugly haha, but of course I'm not really an appreciator of pottery per se, let alone an authority!
it's not pottery, it's glasswork.
Zhida, we all knew what he meant. What’s up with you? First time out?
@@cappystrano1 That's because you're an uneducated swine who can't see the difference between glasswork and pottery.
Zhida Zhou still ugly. Pot or Glass.
I went to art school took up pottery i failed because that's how my hand thrown pots came out.
Ahhhhhh, but your name ain't Tiffany 😉
@Truth Charity Loyalty Courage 😎👌
The ancient, primative look was intentional. The irridescent glow was a spectacular recreation of 3000 year old Persian glass vases.
The protrusions are sick ...closer to 1 million
Holy-shitballs!!!
If I saw that lava vase at a garage sale I wouldn't even look twice. I would've assumed that someone was getting rid of something their kid made for them. Shows how much I know :(
Wow
Do they have an AED available for times like these?
I have a case filled with Iraqi dinars. Now that toilet paper is getting to be expensive, I might be able to liquidate some of them.
