My great-aunt insisted this ugly old vase was worthless, but it turned out to be a 1920s Rookwood piece worth over $800.
She told me to just 'stick some fake flowers in it' when she gave it to me, but I got it appraised on a whim after seeing a similar one in an antique shop in Cincinnati, and now I'm wondering if anyone else has a family 'junk' item that turned out to be something special?

Stick some fake flowers in it" is the kind of advice that makes me want to check my whole house for treasure now.

Found a silver dollar in an old vase once.

Wait, have you checked inside hollowed-out books yet? I found an old map in one once.
