Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipGUEST: I bought this at a local auction, and I had it approximately three years before I was able to track down the actual maker of it.
APPRAISER: You said you located some other pieces of John Bennett.
GUEST: Yes, the majority of 'em were in museums.
APPRAISER: John is one of a gaggle of Bennetts who were painting birds on the sides of pots during the 19th century.
Starting in 1876, Bennett was decorating in town houses in Manhattan, first on Lexington Avenue, and in this case, on 24th Street.
He's known for doing these sort of Asian-Persian shapes with bright jewel colors, in this case emerald, with faience decoration outlined in black, so the work is very crisp and bright.
A really lovely, striking piece.
And how much did you pay for it?
GUEST: I paid $40 for it.
APPRAISER: Because of the bird, which adds a fair amount of value to the piece, if this was to come up at auction, I would expect it to bring somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000.
GUEST: Really?
APPRAISER: Yeah.
GUEST: That's a big shock.
APPRAISER: That's not a bad investment on your $40 purchase.
GUEST: Really.
That's really surprising.
I'm just kind of speechless.
I had no idea that it was worth anything like that
