I think it's one of the most charming reactions I've seen. Visibly moved and informed by a very literate expert.

[@kaminarikatuhstrofik9534]

I am binge watching these videos.. And honestly every time I can't help but think to myself "this person really deserved this break in life". They all just seem like genuine people making their way through life.

[@ThereIsNoLord]

This is one guy who isn't going to donate the proceeds to Donald Trump. I have a gut feeling.

[@ThereIsNoLord]

@False Flag I think I'll remain a member of the extremely large group that doesn't value your advice.

[@pallidbustofpallas4679]

I'm binge watching too! Such a great show and so many great people. This is one of the few things left that hasn't been spoiled by politics. I hope it stays that way! God bless! 😃

[@HughLlewellyn]

I'm binge watching these too. A year after you, but, yeah. I went all the way back to the beginning and I'm watching every one of them. I used to watch this show on PBS, but it's been a decade since I cut the cord to Cable TV, so I was delighted to find these on KZbin. :)

[@b.tillman6195]

All my favorite colors blended into one beautiful piece of art.

[@erikadowdy686]

The colors are beautiful!

[@NC-qc7wd]

It's stunning, a glass collector like myself I am in love with that vase!

[@thizlam4810]

2:57 I love how he was expecting her to say 35 to 45 hundred dollars and his face seems like “wow that’s crazy”. Then it hits him she said 45 *thousand* and he’s speechless

[@MarkGodfrey73]

Then he goes to the upper estimate heh

[@PetiteParrotLover]

Why do these make me cry?!😅

[@UmmXenon]

i love watching these because i know so little about art and history i wouldn’t be surprised if she had said this was worth $100 or $100,000.

[@DeathBringer769]

He thought she was gonna say 35 to 45 hundred dollars, not THOUSAND lol. So awesome.

[@k6eep593]

As I scanned KZbin videos of the Road Show and this one jumped out at me. It is something I would buy. Until I heard the price. But I still like knowing things like this exist.

[@patriciaspadea2266]

Love his reaction. So sweet. Congrats😄

[@garyfernandez8513]

I really love seeing the reaction of regular everyday folks when they discover they are in possession of a genuine treasure.

[@123benny4]

"I like it even more now." Famous last words.

[@cultclassic999]

What a beautiful piece!

[@Wileylikethehawk]

Wouldn't it be just the best feeling in the world to tell people like this when their junk is worth tens of thousands? So much fun.

[@chefbillybaroo2056]

Yup be the best job in the world!

[@stephanierobinson8931]

I absolutely love that....not often I see something I love.....

Was brought up a Waterford gal but a couple years ago found some Orrefors candle holders at a rummage sale. Gave them to my mom.

He's like, did she just say "35 to 45 thousand dollars???" Lol

[@Lonewolfmike]

And the thing is if you drop it the vase breaks the floor. It didn't look like it weighs a ton, but 15 POUNDS!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Beautiful!

He bought it because he really liked it. And THEN decided he should find out about it. I feel sorry for the folks who sent it to the thrift shop, they obviously had no clue.

[@johnshields6852]

I don't collect anything but that is beautiful, the colors are amazing.

[@TheFlyingZulu]

Very Noice... at first I think he thought she said 3,500-4,500... Thus the clarificaion of "45 'thousands' dollars"?! lol

[@domnoya4130]

It isn’t worth nearly that much. You can easily search eBay and find these vases and they max out around 2k for the most expensive possible. Recently this brand has lost popularity and 99% of their products on eBay aren’t even selling for over $100. Maybe you could get 2k for this vase but it would not sell fast.

[@JoJo-zb3pj]

I'm in love with her!

[@bobbynicole10]

The best thing is when people who genuinely like an object find out it's really valuable because they can treasure it rather than sell it. These objects were meant to be used and enjoyed.

Wow! Just think. The person who donated it to the thrift store had no idea what they had and apparently no one at the auction knew the value of it either.

[@CoutureThug]

It probably come from an estate, everything is auctioned and sold of they have no living family members

Thanks... I just snarfed coffee up my nose. *LMAO*

[@Lonewolfmike]

That is something you NEVER take to Pawn Stars. You take it to a place like Christies or some other auction house that would give it the best possible showing.

[@VegasMarcMarc]

Retail mark up is 50% and then they buy or represent from customer at another 20% .. 5k to 10k is not that outrageous.

[@20cardmg]

Rick says " I just cant make any money off it..its gonna sit for a while" LOL

I like this guy. He looks like Arthur C. Clarke.

[@hxhdfjifzirstc894]

It's really nice, but most people can't afford to have $45,000 tied up in a vase. The reasonable thing to do is sell it, and replace it with a vase from Goodwill, or maybe even splurge on a $100 antique vase that you like almost as much.

[@larsnilsson4928]

As a swede it´s hilarious to hear them try to pronounce Orrefors correctly ;-D

[@domnoya4130]

That vase would have trouble selling for over 3k these days. Now a days you can find these vases selling for around 2k on eBay. The brand has completely fallen off in popularity resulting in it also losing almost all value. French brands are the only crystal manufacturers who can demand tens of thousands for their pieces anymore. Lalique and baccarat still have value but sadly brands like Orrefors have gone extinct in value.

[@heronsdoor4658]

[@domnoya4130]

Orrefors isn’t popular anymore and these can be find on eBay for 2k with a simple search. A lot of brands have completely fallen off recently. Pretty much only a few French brands are popular anymore. It’s hard to even find an Orrefors piece that is selling for over a few hundred now much less 30k it just won’t happen anymore when people will let go of these things for 2k.
