Antiques Roadshow guest 'astonished' to learn HUGE value of soup bowls

Antiques Roadshow valued a guest’s Royal Doulton soup bowls at £3,500 each after expert analysis.
The bowls were identified as officers’ equipment from a Scottish Antarctic expedition, increasing their provenance.
The guest’s painting, also tied to Antarctic history, was valued at about £7,000.
The guest expressed she would not sell the items but would pass them down the family.
The episode also referenced a previous valuation of an Omega Speedmaster watch from a prior show.
Clock expert Alastair Chandler highlighted the Omega Speedmaster as a 'real classic' with rarity affecting value.
Chandler noted a December 2024 auction example for a similar Omega Speedmaster.
Antiques Roadshow continues on BBC One and iPlayer.
The segment linked the bowls to Reginald Skelton, a notable Antarctic officer in the expedition.
The bowls were described as being used by officers for their meal service in the expedition.
