Thank god you said it correctly. I am honoured as an Aussie to own one, given to me as a gift last year from my wonderful friends from Aberdeen Shire .
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
@@Brembelia @Englishpatriot70 she was a precious woman, and I miss her dearly. She lived a most incredible life. I haven’t got to go visit the cousins since the lockdowns a few years back, but I can’t wait to “hop the pond” later this year. 😄
Don’t feel bad. Literally all of us will be lost and our family history’s will be forgotten forever. You can’t be too attached to things like this because ultimately we will all be lost to time.
These people always seem fascinated with the price tag. I don't believe it's accurate because I never heard anyone say, "wow, I thought it would be worth more than that."
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.
Man was delusional, old fools like him keep perfectly fine classic cars rusting sitting abandoned because nobody wants to buy them at their outrageous prices treating vehicles as a finanical investment rather than a tool.
Sometimes as our neighbours and sometimes rivals, sometimes friends, polovtsi and kyptchaki did, they used human sculls, that ones of their fallen enemies
That is deliberate room for error. Just as when an item is placed in auction, auction estimate is rarely spot on. In fact it’s usually short well over 50% if not more.
Just to put that into perspective, £4000 - £5000 in today’s money, would get you a pint, a bad of crisps as well as day’s travel around central London. Amazing
Conversely, people could say your lazy for not looking it up. If the point is to just show the old program, then finding the values today is beyond its scope.
Rich people got too much of they buy things like these. It's a cup, we all know what a cup is, we know our ancestors made cups, I don't need another cup.

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….
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 .
I wouldn't give up a piece of cultural heritage like that for 1-5k! Even back then. Absolutely gorgeous piece!
Bear in mind, that's $20,000-$25,000 in 2024, so quite a lot more.
you are a fool
Queich as a salute to the guest of honour and passed round at a function

Doubt it. Someone in the family would sell it in a heartbeat, they always do
An Englishman perfectly pronounces the word "quaich", I'm as impressed with that as with his historical expertise!
How do you know he’s English. Some of the poshest ppl I ever met are Scottish/Welsh /Irish. I learned not to judge.

Nice memory
That’s 8.5 billion pounds now.
Inflation!!!
10 billion now. Just checked.
Sounds really heavy
@@franciasii2435 Which is, if the math checks out, about $12.75
More seriously, it's between £15,000-£19,000 in 2024, which is about $20,000-$25,000
Gosh! £4-5k! In 2024 Britain it might pay his heating bill and food for a few months!
Such a British reaction! I love it ❤
In Norway there were beer bowls made from wood and painted with ornaments, of approximately the same size and shape ..
That's priceless in that condition. Nearly a sacred cultural relic. Hopefully it will be preserved for posterity.
Of all channels, I'm surprised that Antiques Roadshow is not only publishing shortform material but also looping quite exquisitely

Very cool peice
It's beautiful!
It's historical wealth in beyond mear money.
What an epic piece of history.
Appears to have "viking" influence in its origins.
It's "somali" influence now. That's clearly a piece of Somalian history.

My mom put the tv on antiques road show and now my algorithm is recommending me antique shows. Never searched for it once….
Based Mama.
I miss 1999 😪
Great Britain has the best antiques! And not because they are older, but because of the craftsmanship.
Well, Asian antiques are a mark above pretty much throughout history
What craftsmanship, he just said crude scratch engraving.
These people always seem fascinated with the price tag. I don't believe it's accurate because I never heard anyone say, "wow, I thought it would be worth more than that."
I was hoping for 200000-300000
Why would anyone ever pay that 😂
Price seems low
@@TheWinstonDouble coz they have? 😆
@@shelleyharris4176this was 1999. Curious what it would be valued at now.
Definitely keep,unless you've fallen on hard times and its the only option you have.
Today that would be worth so so so much more!!

And. They say there's no God ..two handled drinking bowl😂😅❤
They were used at weddings, funerals etc and would be passed around, similar to communion
Not a lot of money when you think how long it’s been around and the story it could tell
This was broadcast in 1999
We, Ukrainians, have the same stuff and it’s called - surprise-surprise - «келих»: «quelykh».
Indo-European ancestry💪🏼
something that old has to be worth more. pure pennies compared to the wealth of its history
Before the bowls skulls were used to toast victory and conquest over others.
Sometimes as our neighbours and sometimes rivals, sometimes friends, polovtsi and kyptchaki did, they used human sculls, that ones of their fallen enemies
Skal as the Vikings say,
Now thats an expensive cup/drinking bowl" 😉👍🏽 its amazing & very awesome 👍🏽
Pass the doichi on the left hand side.
Looks like the video is from the 90s so that £5000 is worth around £9000-12000 now.
It always amazes me how the monetary value is so low for something that is patently priceless, like new after hundreds of years.
That’s the most British man I’ve ever seen 😂
Id like to have a large one of those to drink beer out of
Probably 10x that now if not more since this video.
10 billion pounds
It's gotta be worth more than that today
10 billion pounds
4000-5000pounds that's a heavy bowl! (Let me have my shitty joke please)
They under estimated many items
This show is, like, 25 years old.
That is deliberate room for error. Just as when an item is placed in auction, auction estimate is rarely spot on. In fact it’s usually short well over 50% if not more.
Just to put that into perspective, £4000 - £5000 in today’s money, would get you a pint, a bad of crisps as well as day’s travel around central London. Amazing
It's a Scottish word, it means this thing
I like to know what the history of that bowl is that's interesting
That's like £30,000 in today's money.
nope, its worth 10 billion pounds today
They found one in a coal seam years ago.
He’s got teeth like a Simpsons character mixed with Wallace and Gromit
quaph... is probably related.
Surprised it’s not worth more tbh but I wouldn’t sell it I’d use it lol
That's $6354.80 in USD as of today, 08/07/24.
Dummy, you could buy a house in the U.K. for less than £5,000 at the time this was filmed
No, this was filmed in 1999. £5000 in 1999 adjusted for inflation would be around £9279.43 today, which is worth $12,242.77 at the time of writing.
In 1999 £1 pound was worth approximately $1.61 to $1.66 USD. Then add the current rate of inflation in and it become $14,800 USD in todays money.
@@Liberty_Freedom_Brotherhoodno need to call people dummy
There's a similar traditional Russian vessel called a kovsh. Does anyone know if there is a connection?
Is quench a related word?
Thought it would be more lol
It's originally a Viking utensil...yah!
That's like worth like 100k today
actually its worth 10 billion
600 year old cup worth only that much? 😮
its worth 10 billion now
Are you from the year 2280 or something
Why not add current valuations? 25 year old prices, on a show where prices are a fundamental feature, seems pointless and lazy.
Too much effort.
If its around 1995 then just need to double the value, hope that helps
Does it matter that much? Plus antiques change in values that do not necessarily match changes in inflation.
Maybe because this show is 25 years old, or more. 😳
Conversely, people could say your lazy for not looking it up.
If the point is to just show the old program, then finding the values today is beyond its scope.
Did Harry Enfield come to this guy for accent and cadence 😂
I am here for the History Lesson.
I wonder if the name is related to the word. "Quench"?
Rich people got too much of they buy things like these. It's a cup, we all know what a cup is, we know our ancestors made cups, I don't need another cup.
So that doesn’t seem very much for something that is almost unique.
Much better than James I, aka James the Worst!
Pass the bowl,
The Quaichers from the USA must have been real sponges.
And thats in 1980$ 5000 is 10 American ish pluse inflation probably 50? Now maybe more
It didn't look that heavy, maybe 1/2 pound tops😂
Under priced.
Do you mean underpriced way back in 1999 when it was filmed or now in 2024?
Yes@@l214laus
So do you quaff from the quaich?
Its a quiche!
Real Hip.The Usual! Nosey Patrons standing close that choose to not mind there own business.
Not a lot of money for it. Find pricing so strange as very much less than i would think.sure museum would like it.
Is that all it’s worth? I was hoping for five or even six figures. Pass the bottle of single malt.
