GUEST: I got that in an antique collective in Berkeley, California.
APPRAISER: How much did you pay for it?
GUEST: About $25.
APPRAISER: And when was that?
GUEST: I'd say 12 to 15 years ago.
APPRAISER: Okay, do you know who made it?
GUEST: No-- I know it's signed, but I couldn't read the signature.
APPRAISER: This is a French art glass, it's a very rare French art glass. It's Duc de Caranza. He was a Turkish fellow that came to France in the late 19th century, actually worked with the Longwy pottery company, and his work is always known for these metallic oxides, making this look like a pottery piece. Even though it is art glass, it looks like pottery.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And it's actually a lovely little vase. Now, you paid how much for it?
GUEST: $25.
APPRAISER: $25, okay. I would say because of its rarity and basically, you know, kind of beauty, maybe $2,000 to $3,000.
GUEST: Wow.
APPRAISER: And it's, it's a lovely piece, and it's a rare piece of art glass and it's a pleasure to see it. I don't think we've ever seen one on the ROADSHOW.
GUEST: Wow.
