An Antiques Roadshow guest was completely flabbergasted when she was told the true value of her item. In a repeat of the BBC show from 2002, a woman brought some beautiful 19th century claret jugs to be assessed by an expert at Whitchurch.

The glassware items were the work of Paul Storr, one of the greatest silversmiths the world has ever seen. The guest explained that her late husband had bought the pitchers back in the 60s and "paid £50". She shared: "Which we thought was rather a lot in those days." The evaluator then noted that the condition of the jugs was "absolutely sunny." He added: "Everything is as crisp as the day it was made. The glassing, it's just so sharp and everything is just as you would want it to be."

The expert added: "Finding a pair of claret jugs is unusual. They turn up, but most often you just find a single claret jug."

The guest confessed that she had only cleaned the jugs four times since having them and they have never really been used - other than to admire in a cupboard.

The appraiser then shared that the jugs were made in 1838 - making them more than 150 years old at the time of purchase. "The maker could not be better," he declared, before sharing that they were created by Storr.

It was then time to reveal the price. "Since we have a pair, we should be looking at a value of somewhere around £30,000 plus," he said.

The guest was taken aback as she asked: "What?" with a huge gasp. "Wow, that's fabulous," she added.

She then sadly added: "Oh, I do wish my husband was here to hear that."

On a more recent episode, a honey pot brought in a staggering amount of cash. A guest brought an item which was gifted by a late family member, which was later revealed to be worth five figures.

While the guest referred to the object as a "honey pot," expert Alastair explained that the item was actually known as a honey skep because of its shape.

The visitor explained: "We inherited it with the honey in it and all over it, and he hadn't cleaned it for a long time, and we bring it out at Christmas."

The show's expert said: "If I say that it would comfortably make between £10,000 and £15,000", as the guest gasped and said: "Oh, wow. Wow", before exclaiming "gosh".
