When Appraisers Get it Wrong
Update: 2021-09-27
Description
In 2015, a guest brought a strange looking pot to the set of GBH’s Antiques Roadshow in Spokane, WA, where an expert appraised it as a “19th century grotesque face jug” worth $30,000 - $50,000. After the episode aired, a viewer contacted the series to share information which shocked producers and wound up in the national news. Find out what they learned and what happened next when DETOURS host Adam Monahan sets out to find answers.

I think this just highlights the integrity of the show and the good nature of the appraiser. Glad to know they're all human as well. :)
