On March 21, 2022, the charger here, represented through Doyle Auctions in NYC, soared above its estimate of $80, 000-$120, 000 to achieve the sum of $390, 600 at auction, with buyers premium.

"I'm so pleased you own this" was a very good sentiment.

[marshallodom]

"I'm so pleased you own this". This guy... Is top notch. I'm pleased he's an appraiser.

[kperrem]

Almost three hundred years old and it looks brand new! Amazing!!

[suzannehaigh]

A ceramic pice, over 200 years old and so perfect, perfect. Worth every penny

[zanesmith]

i really like it when someone humble and unknowing ends up having something of significant value, especially if they aren't from a family of huge wealth. They are even more deserving

[Jennifer_Laz]

I really like this appraiser. He's knowledgeable without being a snob.

[thedogdogification]

I really enjoyed listening to this guy. He has such a nice, clear, calm presentation style. The charger is truly stunning and I'm so happy for that lady.

[jlg]

He's a very good appraiser. One of the best I've seen on this show.

[chrisburn]

I think AR must be the only UK show to have made it to the US with the same quality and restraint, plus excellent appraisers. Which makes finds like this all the more exciting.

[irishka_zolotse]

Poor uncle could not even see the piece, but still set his niece for a huge surprise and provided for her wonderfully, thank you uncle! I am very happy for the lady!

[RunningDaze]

Such a gentleman, the appraiser is a class act in kindness and professionalism.

So happy for the nice lady, and of course the charger is an extraordinary piece of art.

[nlella]

I love how professionally supportive this guy is.

[ExMachina]

I love the smile on his face when the woman says she believes the value to being somewhere around $1000.

[SHERMA.]

the celadon glaze on this piece is especially stupendous
its so very consistent and the pooling around the inner ring is the exact same the entirety of the way round
its larger than your average celadon charger (10-13inches) which makes it extremely sought after
and lets not even mention the fact its more than likely spent most of its life away from danger and sunlight inside that box
this is an incredible find that the Chinese will NO DOUBT overpay for
please expect $180k+

He is SO GRACIOUS. And she's adorable.

[sfperalta]

It’s like finding out that hunk of crystal you’ve kept with the Yahtzee dice is really a rare diamond. What a delightful revelation!

[xxxx]

It's amazing to think, before her uncle got this charger it already had a couple *hundred years* of history to it.
Amazing, I'm happy for her and I can imagine many (very rich) chinese art collectors would be very interested in a piece like this.

[danzafrir]

What a stunning piece of porcelain. The ancient artistry of East Asian cultures never ceases to amaze me.

[ThomasDawkins]

I love celadon pieces, but I usually see things the size of a teacup. This is huge, dramatic, and amazing.
