An expert on Antiques Roadshow explained why they rarely feature silver spoons on the show, before delivering a mindblowing valuation for one set. A pair of Georgian spoons caught the eye of expert Gordon Foster when he discovered the silverware was engraved with the initials 'JC', reports The Mirror.
Foster said: "Eagle-eyed viewers of the roadshow will know we don't often feature silver spoons unless they're special."
"Ostensibly, we're looking at Georgian silver spoon from 1750 and quite often we're asked on the roadshow when you've got initials engraved on pieces, does that make a difference to the value? Well, usually it doesn't because it tends to detract slightly. If however, we can pin down the initials to being someone of significance, that's a different story."
