    My great grandmother was in the RAF, born in the Outer Hebrides, & moved to the US after WW2. She had a ton of family heirlooms, being an only child of her parents.
    She had one relatively similar to this, but I don’t think it was *_that_* old. Her house burned down back in the late 90s & lost almost all of her prized heirlooms along with the house

    Every time I see something like this my eyes roll. Price for obscure artifacts like this depend on the market. It's worth that because there are older people with money that are willing to pay that but if there is no one that cares what it is, it's worthless. My neighbor years ago bought a 40's Chevy sedan and probably spend $20-$30K USD on the car and restoration. He told me it was worth $200K. Years later he passed away and his son sold it for $10K because all the people that wanted 40's cars were dead and the market collapsed.

    My son found a rock while on vacation that he thought had fools gold in it but it look more real to me. So I had it looked at and the guy told me it was worthless but quickly offered my son 35 dollars for it. That seemed odd to me so I told the man we would keep it. When we got back home I took it to the jeweler that made the engagement ring for my wife. He told me it was real and asked if he could cut it open. Turned out to be an ounce of gold in it worth 2500. I feel this guy is under quoting the value of that bowl….

      Looks to be an old video so perhaps go X 10 to be more accurate now.

      These people’s entire reputation is based on their ability to accurately assess an item and its value. He ain’t lying. In fact it would be more beneficial for him to inflate the value of the item. It would sell at auction for a higher value and the house would take a larger gratuity for services.

    yea 4-5k sure... cant watch those shows with their experts anymore because of that kind of ripping off of naiv people... since the market is flooded with fakes of all kinds everything thats provable authentic automatically sells itself at the price you set... and lets be honest those are unique since they where made on demand so there arent two that look the same. always sell at big topic/item-specific auctions especially if its an "historical artifact". even if no one personally needs or wants it there will be reseller, traders that will know its true value and they try and jump in on it to make a profit on it later on :) oh and have 1-5 people with you that raise the bids if your feel like someone would rip you off otherwise. can happen if there are only 1 or 2 knowledgeable people.

    I have been watching the British Antique Roadshow for years, I stopped, because the most expensive item ever in the show was $8,700 pounds? The American show has had dozens of finds over $500,000, USA!USA!USA!

      That is because the British show is legit my dad works on the American show and they used to go out of their way to find people with the most expensive items to show so that people would actually watch it. Well done you fell for it. Thanks for keeping my father in employment .

      In 1999 £1 pound was worth approximately $1.61 to $1.66 USD. Then add the current rate of inflation in and it become $14,800 USD in todays money.
