GUEST: Well, during World War II, my husband was in Europe. He was stationed in the Army. And the end of his tour, he was in Paris.

APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.

GUEST: And he loved it. And this was the first time-- a number of years after the war-- that he took me there.

APPRAISER: How many years after the war, would you say?

GUEST: Oh, maybe ten.

APPRAISER: Ten years.

GUEST: At least ten.

APPRAISER: Okay.

GUEST: Yeah.

APPRAISER: Mm-hmm.

GUEST: I had to wait for my children to get a little bigger.

APPRAISER: Right, of course.

GUEST: And… we found this in the flea market.

APPRAISER: Well, this is a piece of French art glass. And it was made by the art glass maker Ernest Léveillé. Léveillé was working in the latter part of the 19th century, and he was a… student of a very famous glassmaker named Eugene Rousseau. And in 1885, he bought Eugene Rousseau's workshop and retail gallery. And he continued to make a lot of the same designs that his teacher made. Um, and he made this glass that had a lot of crackled glass in it and also metallic oxides and some beautiful molding that goes all the way around the glass. And then there are little bits of inclusions in the glass. In that period of time in Paris, a lot of the artists were working in the style called Orientalism, and that was part of the early Art Nouveau movement. And as you can see on here, this is an Oriental motif, applied bronze here, and this mounted foot on the bottom, and that sort of gives it away. But also the shape and the feel is very Oriental, too. It was very exciting for me to see this piece today, mainly because I haven't seen one in all the years I've been doing Antiques Roadshow. It's very rare. Actually… I've only seen a couple pieces. We've had some in the shop. This is very similar to the piece that we have had in the shop. How much did you pay for it, do you remember?

GUEST: I have no idea.

APPRAISER: Uh, do you have any idea what it's worth? Have you had it appraised?

GUEST: I have no idea.

APPRAISER: Well, I'll tell you that um, if I had this in the shop today, we would probably sell it for between $8,000 and $10,000. So, it's a great piece of glass by a great French glass master, and I thank you for bringing it in.

GUEST: Well, thank you very much.
