I love Rookwood. This is gorgeous.

[@Cola64]

Her smile was worth 10x that ❤️

[@joealvarez4140]

Love her reaction. Made me smile. :)

[@FC-di4wz]

Beautiful colour and design glad for her nice surprise 🌻

[@sooth15]

Inflation calculator estimates around 490$ for 35$ in 1927. In case anyone was curious.

[@bradleybrown8399]

JC that's simply adjustment for inflation. Value of antiques is vastly different

[@Jaydoggy531]

All the same, nearly five hundred to five thousand, not bad.

[@PeterAlanA1234567890]

JC thank you my Brain was spinning

[@paulastephenson1862]

In 1927 the average yearly wage was $5,500. When salary would have been around $115 a week $35 would have been a substantial purchase.

[@snowflakehunter]

@s bright No....he didn't miss it. He saw it on top of yor head but wanted to save you some face!

[@danielbarbee7712]

I think she is so awesome.

[@jackhartford521]

There’s a whole, in the vase, dear Liza, dear Liza. All joking aside, that’s pretty darn cool!

[@ianyoung1101]

Isn't it Delilah? Or have I been singing it wrong my entire life!?

[@aarons3014]

@@ianyoung1101 I learned "Dear Liza" also. But I wouldn't be surprised if it was a song that changed when sung in different regions, or by different families.

[@favoritesme9861]

Gorgeous artistry!

[@andrewsaccal3771]

and the Vase is nice too!

[@kathiek.1035]

Love antique roadshow ! I am always amazed at the value of some of the items people bring in ! Wish I could find things like that at a thrift stoe.

Wouldn’t be special if it was common.

There's always some SHITHEAD with a drill or a paint brush to ruin a good item's value... :-/

[@kenneththompson8933]

Why not sell the hole as well🤯🤷‍♂️😂😂

[@lukebrock8482]

The vase is So purdy 🤩

[@arunashamal]

Drill it, Kill it,, sounds like a great name for a rap song

[@randomtux392]

That's a $4000 hole, hmm, I've seen holes for a lot less than that. :P

[@sweiland75]

Your Mother

[@beatnickblanket]

ooooh gurl you went there.

[@anton41]

There’s a free hole in a bathroom stall I saw once.

[@smh1245]

I was going to like this but there are 69 likes and its perfect.

[@GasFayce]

Don't call it a glory hole

[@davidcarrero7848]

I love her smile,that's at least $1,000,000. at auction.

[@conscience-commenter]

The hole can easily be fixed by a conservator, he should have made her aware of that .

[@grokeffer6226]

I was thinking that same thing.

[@Cola64]

He probably wanted to get it from her cheap 🔧

[@andrewfleming611]

Holes like that in ceramics cannot be repaired. You might try filling it with epoxy, which will certainly damage the maker's marks and original price tag, but then you have two materials with different rates of expansion rubbing against each other every time the temperature changes. You also have to explain everything you've done to the vase to any potential buyer or face a possible lawsuit.

[@snaz76]

Beautiful woman.

[@dondressel4802]

snaz76 beautiful vase

[@paulastephenson1862]

There was a hole (there was a hole) In the middle of the vase (in the middle of the vase) The prettiest hole (the prettiest hole) That you ever did see (that you ever did see)....

[@brianjoyce9742]

Lovely vase

[@MattBeckley]

"Tiger Lilies" not day lilies

[@Earthneedsado-over177]

It's still beautiful. Who comes into a home and picks up a vase to look at the bottom anyway? The artistry is still perfectly intact.

[@jonelfilipek7848]

I gotta say, if I suspect, I’ll try t sneak a peek. (Blushes)

[@scharfoskar3254]

i do

[@88997799]

In 1927 $35 was $350! That’s months of rent for the average person. Probably over a year of rent.

[@fortunatoofamontillado1059]

So you are saying a months rent was less than $3.00

[@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki]

@@fortunatoofamontillado1059 the mathmeticians on this thread really impress me. Someone up top said the average wage in 1927 was 5,500. I don't think so. But he doesn't identify the country.

[@peterjensen4190]

Cute lady.

[@rualert1602]

I think those are tiger lilies, not day lilies.

[@grokeffer6226]

Nice !!! But those flowers look more like Tiger Lilies, not Daylilies.

[@jeffpetrie7744]

Well aren’t you the lily expert! 👍🏼 Thanks so much for that important correction. /s

[@grokeffer6226]

They also might be Oriental Lilies.

[@dcc2351]

$35 in 1927 would be about $600 in today's money.

[@traviscoates6878]

Uncut Gems...And the most important question is...Does the carpet match the curtains!?

[@ThiccBobby888]

Absolutely

[@JohnnySnipshow]

Anyone else nervous when he’s taking it apart lol

[@charding69]

Greetings from Manila, Philippines. I was amazed watching the antiques show. I inherited something from my great grandmother. It was brought by her son who was seaman in US. Can I take it picture and send it to you?

[@thebluemenace]

Stupid

[@Jesse__H]

Couldn't even see the vase over that shirt

[@JGunit]

This piece is called "Jar of Beef Livers"

[@lususlove]

The hole decreases the value by half and she’s like “okay” lol

[@DocFunkenstein]

As opposed to what?

[@v.gorski3050]

Hey...... she found it in the house they bought. She paid nothing for it.

[@cypherpunk12]

you would be lucky to get $1 on Pawn Stars.

[@coolmanjolly6]

Not a daylily. This is an Asiatic lily. I have both and over 50 named daylilies. Beautiful vase though.

[@kalgstol]

God I love redheads🤤

[@jmatt4life]

Not bad, despite the hole!

The hole shouldn't matter your not turning the vase upside down to look at it or show it ! No one would know theres a hole in the bottom less you told them or showed them !
