GUEST: My father bought it. About 1962, somewhere around that timeframe.
APPRAISER: And do you remember how much he paid for it?
GUEST: I think in the realm of $50.
APPRAISER: Maybe we'll turn it around now.
GUEST: My father named it Evelyn.
APPRAISER: This is Evelyn.
GUEST: This is Evelyn.
APPRAISER: Why did he name it Evelyn?
GUEST: Because my father thought it looked like my mother, and my mother didn't appreciate that at all.
APPRAISER: (laughs) Well, I think if she looked like this, she looked very, very good.
GUEST: (laughs)
APPRAISER: It is done from the glassworks of Paolo Venini.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: He's an Italian glass maker, and he had a glass house in Murano, Italy. They're still in production, but it has nothing to do with the family, and it's changed quite a bit. And I think the piece was designed by Fulvio Bianconi.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: So, it's a very rare piece, very rare.
GUEST: I'll be-- I'll be.
APPRAISER: And you can also look at it beside a lovely hourglass nude. If you look, it looks like a cat. Two eyes and two ears.
GUEST: Yes, yes.
APPRAISER: And it has a pulled feather design. This is an old technique. I think you'll be happy to know that your father made a wonderful investment, and Evelyn should stay in your, your possession, because...
GUEST: Yeah, Evelyn's not going anywhere.
APPRAISER: Evelyn at auction could go from $8,000 to $10,000.
GUEST: Wow. Oh, you made me get goose bumps. (laughs)
