A Cracked Chinese vase โ dismissed as worthless years ago โ sells for Nearly $20,000
It pays to have a good eye and to follow your gut instincts at house and garage sales. Earlier this year, the owner of an auction company in England was visiting a house sale. His eyes were drawn to a blue and white vase filled with dried flowers that turned out to be 400 years old and quite valuable.

After being used, among other things, as a wine cooler, a Victorian royal presentation vase and horse racing trophy known as โHer Majestyโs Vaseโ was sold for nearly $53,000 (40,000 pounds) on March 6, 2022. Lost for more than 177 years, the vase was commissioned by Queen Victoria and produced especially for the Plymouth, Devon and Cornwall races in 1845 by the silversmith John Samuel Hunt (1785โ1865) who traded with another great silversmith, Paul Storr (1770โ1844). The vase was last seen when it was presented in 1845 at the races as a gift from Her Majesty the Queen to the owner of the winning horse. It stayed with the family of the owner of the winning horse, Sir John Barker-Mill, 1st Baronet (1803โ1860), and its significance and history was lost to his descendants. The vase and stand had become separated. The vase was rediscovered in the family home. The stand was recently discarded in an outbuilding. Research confirmed what it was. Chiswick Auctions sold to a UK buyer.

Best Moment Antique Roadshow: 1892 H.F. Farny Watercolor and Gouache Painting | A woman in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, inherited a framed artwork from her grandmother and assumed it was a print, but when she opened the frame to get a mosquito out from behind the glass, she got an inkling that the artwork was real. Previous appraisals had valued the artwork at $200 and $250, but on Antiques Roadshow, appraiser Meredith Hilferty confirmed it was a genuine 1892 painting by H.F. Farny worth $200,000 to $300,000. . . . #antiques #collectables #antiquesvaluation
Best Moment Antique Roadshow: Tang Dynasty Marble Lion | In Albuquerque in 2002, a woman brought a marble lion her grandparents had picked up on a trip to China. Lark Mason, the admittedly โworked upโ appraiser, told the owner that the statue dated from the Tang Dynastyโthe โgolden period of Chinese artโโand not the Ming Dynasty, as previously estimated. Mason appraised this lion at $120,000 to $180,000, although the owner wasnโt prepared to put out a โfor saleโ sign just yet.
Best Moment Antique Roadshow: 1923 Frank Schoonover Oil Painting | A man at an Antiques Roadshow taping in Winterthur, Delaware, was moved to tears when he learned how much his oil painting by Frank Schoonover was worth. And the backstory is just as emotional: The manโs mother saved $5 every week for two years to save up enough to allow his father to pick out a painting from Schoonoverโs studios. His father chose this piece, an illustration from the 1923 Ralph D. Paine book Privateers of โ76. Debra Forceโs appraisal? $125,000. โMy father would be so thrilled to know that people were being turned on to illustrations,โ the tearful owner replied. โAnd my mother would be really thrilled at what you just said.โ . . . #antiques #collectables #antiquesvaluation

Diver Discovers 900-Year-Old Crusader Sword Off Coast of Israel: 'A Beautiful and Rare Find' A piece of history was found by a diver in Israel โ and experts believe the "beautiful and rare" artifact is approximately 900 years old. The remarkable discovery was made on Saturday, off the Carmel coast in Northern Israel, according to a press release from the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA). The IAA said Atlit resident Shlomi Katzin was diving in the Mediterranean Sea when he came across several ancient artifacts on the seabed. Among the items Katzin found was a sword with a 3.3-foot-long blade and a hilt measuring over 11 inches long, per the release. Wanting to prevent the sword from being stolen or buried, Katzin took it ashore, where he contacted the inspector for the IAA Northern District's Robbery Prevention Unit to report his findings, the IAA said. It was later determined by Nir Distelfeld, the inspector, that the sword was a piece of Crusader knight history, dating back to 900 years ago.

Watch as 200 Years of Varnish Is Wiped Away From a 17th Century Oil Painting Philip Mould. Removing of yellowing varnish. Year 1618. Medieval painting renovation. โThe painting was originally in a private collection in England,โ Mould told the Telegraph. โA mixture of gel and solvent was created, specifically just to remove the varnish and not to damage the underlying paint.โ Certainly the portraitโs subject would approve of her appearanceโs return to its former splendor, though little information remains as to the identity of the lady herself: โWe donโt know the identity yet but certain iconographic clues are starting to emerge,โ said Mould. โAll we know is she is 36 and it was painted in 1617.โ

Will An All Blue and White Home Look Weird? One of the easiest ways to come up with a color scheme is to choose one color. Yes, thatโs right. One color. And then riff off of that one color using colors in its family. Analogous colors. Here Are Some Doโs and Donโts for Decorating with Blue and White โข Unless you are painting your floor some other color, you scheme is actually going to be blue and white and a wood tone. In fact, Karen already has lots of wood-toned pieces and some black which is wonderful because โข Blue and White LOVES black! I mean LOVES IT!!! In fact, all colors love black, but blue in particular whether it is pale or even navy adores black. โข Having a Blue and White home doesnโt mean that there canโt be any other color. โข In fact, there will be other colors.

The maiolica (tin-glazed pottery) plate was originally estimated to sell for somewhere between ยฃ80,000 and ยฃ120,000 ($109,000 and $163,000), and the bidding began at just below the lower end of the estimate. With the auction streaming live online, bids flooded in from all over the world via phone and email. The winning bid was made by an anonymous bidder. Among 400 items auctioned off from the Lowood House in the Scottish Borders, the auction house's European ceramics specialist recognized the plate as a "rare piece of exceptional quality," according to CNN. The auction also featured furniture, books, silver, and other works of art. #antiquenews #antique #antiquefairs
