Antiques Roadshow Basic, Better & Best
« on: November 05, 2012, 11:53:43 AM »
In case anyone missed it (Don't you love iPlayer - it's available until 11th November) last nights Antiques Roadshow Basic, Better & Best featured Swedish glass with Andy McConnell!
I won't give the game away for anyone who wants to play along but was feeling very pleased with myself for getting them right! Hours pouring over reference material does pay off!  ;D

The bowl was far nicer than the giraffes - but I did recognise the giraffe one. Give me the bowl any day!

He did not say who the better bowl was by or I missed it.

I guessed right but as a Lindstrand collector I suppose I should have.
