Why would you put that out?
That is so ugly.
And my girlfriend had tickets to come to the show and invited me, and I thought, I'm going to take that old, ugly vase.
APPRAISER: Okay, well, let me tell you a little bit about it.
Your vase is Japanese, and it dates from the first quarter of the 20th century, and it is part of a group of Japanese ceramics that are referred to as coralene.
And you can see the flowers are built up with little beads of glass.
There is a mark here.
It says U.S.
patent office.
GUEST: U.S.
patent, yeah.
APPRAISER: That's so it could be imported into this country.
GUEST: Oh, okay.
APPRAISER: The value is probably in the $800 to $1,000 range.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And the question is, is this still an ugly old vase?
GUEST: No, it's not.
I think it's gonna have a prominent place in my home now.
APPRAISER: It's gotten prettier in the last five minutes.
GUEST: (laughs) It has.
I don't think my mother's getting it back.
