Everyone in my family would groan when Grandma would turn on Antiques Roadshow. She would watch with genuine interest as centuries old family heirlooms were valued at 1/10th of the price they were bought for. Post your items here and I will consult the experts to discover the truth behind your unknown or undiscovered treasures

 A customer recently came in to my shop claiming that their great aunt Matilda purchased this matching pair of funerary urns from a traveling salesman while visiting Cairo in the 1950s. She was told that they contained the ashes of a pair of wealthy merchants waylaid by bandits while traveling along the silk road. Unfortunately, I dropped them both while I was looking at them. Lucky for me, when I cracked them open, I discovered that there were no ashes at all, but a child must have lost his Yoyo in there, so at least they could keep that

I also really enjoy when they go to some local historical places. Did you know that it's called antiques ROADSHOW because they travel all around the country?

I have consulted the oracles and I'm sorry to say that it is not cursed at all. The kiln in which this dog was fired is cursed, so you really got the short end of the stick. The clay dog is only a conduit for the curse, most likely cast by the great witch Agatha who was most active in the northeast united states in the 1840s-1870s. She was the madame of a traveling brothel, and when people would mistreat the ladies of the evening, Agatha would find what their livelihood depended on and would curse it. It is likely that a potter mistreated a lady and that is why Agatha cursed the kiln. I'm sorry to say that you have an object of very little monetary or metaphysical value. But this does mean that you can do as you please with it, but you should keep it away from small children and prostitutes

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:Yes thank you. We have been waiting for the Antique Roadshow to come into town. Our grandmother left this in her box of things when she passed away. It looks like some sort of antique glass art. Hope you can tell us more about what period in history it's from and what uses it had. Ah! The Dildo of One Thousand Tortures. It's a good thing you never attempted to use this item to pleasure yourself. It is a legendary device that the great Assyrian torturers would use to torment their captives. It would be inserted into an orifice in the body and would produce agony beyond comprehension. It is doubtless that this object has lost some of it's potential over the years, but You've got a real nice piece of history here. I'd say at auction with the right buyers present, you could clear seven or eight thousand human souls.

Sorry about that everyone, some people just can not appreciate art when they see it.
