Antiques Roadshow US guest stunned as she learns | TV Shows

Sulka noted that the bird’s body was crafted from murrine glass and perched on delicate copper legs.

The owner reflected on the item’s disproportionate body and legs, a sentiment echoed by Sulka who described it as “very 1960s, very whimsical.”

The appraisal took a turn for the better when the expert revealed, “In a retail venue, this would sell in the neighbourhood of $7,500.”

The guest was pleased with the estimate and content with her choice to retain the piece despite its ties to her former spouse. She exclaimed in astonishment, “Oh my goodness, that’s a real shocker.”

Sulka playfully remarked, “Aren’t you glad you held onto it?” to which she humorously responded: “I am, I threw away the husband but I kept the statue.

“I think you won!” Sulka quipped, later adding sentimentally, “Every time I look at this piece, I just want to smile.”
