Chinese cups presented in Oklahoma at an "Antiques Roadshow" taping are worth more than $1 million.

Your 'Antiques Roadshow' fantasy - those old cups = $1 million
On Sunday, appraisers from the PBS hit show "Antiques Roadshow" recorded the highest-value collection ever appraised in the show's 15-year history.
The big ticket item: five Chinese carved rhinoceros-horn cups dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, which are worth between $1 and $1.5 million. An Oklahoma resident bought the cups inexpensively in the 1970s, according to a press release from the show's producers. The reason the value of the cups is so high is due to China's growing demand for Chinese antiquities.
The episode will air as part of "Antiques Roadshow's" 16th season in 2012. The name of the lucky owner of the cups was not released.

I am Cesar. The world is a rhinocero horn cup, and I am its ear.
you mean an ass.
something in china that isnt made of plastic????? wierd...
The Chinese have replicated these items a million fold. Soon they'll be in Walmart for $7.99 each.
How do you know the Rhino was a Chinese Rhino and the cup made in China? This is all hot air to push the price high and sell it to Chinese.
that's great for the owner. it reminds me of a picture i bought overseas back in '98 for $200 and this spring it was appraised at over $32,000. a healthy & completely unexpected return on my purchase.
It's only worth that amount if you have a willing buyer otherwise they're just weird cups.
Uhm, that is the point in the article, which it seems you did not read. The reason its priced so high, is because of the demand in China.
Oh contrary....take the evaluation, donate them to charity, and never pay income tax again!
either way they are weird cups.
At least four rhinoceri were killed to make them.
Waaah?
Yes, way back in the 17th or 18th century, when they had to hunt them on horseback and with spears or bow and arrows. Your point??
Clearly sarcasm. Get with it.
Four delicious rihnos
Americans slaughtered millions of bisons to near extinction in the 19th century because they were just standing around.
i think the 17th century rhinocerouseses would be dead by now.
I guess after the smashing of cultural heritage during the cultural revolution, what is left is bound to be worth something....thank goodness many treasures were deposited in Taiwan during the civil war times or Mao and his minions would have likely destroyed it all
EBay...soon
If I were looking for Chinese cups those would be the ones I'd want. I'll save my pennies!
Are they dishwasher safe?
I have a beautiful painting of Elvis on black velvet . Sothebys, here I come!
Oh Raven Puleeze! OMG.
drink from them and you die of lead poisoning.
"when he told them to "be fruitful and fill the earth with their offspring" he gave eve to adam he didnt give a man to a man " he gave a woman to a man " Why do you assume God is a "he" and not a she?
The same way we determine God is gender specific anyway, we are arrogant enough to believe we are "all that is"
He ALWAYS refers to Himself by using a male pronoun. There's no assumption.
No, some book some guys wrote refers to God as a He. Personally I have never heard or read God say anything.
Wow, somebody's wound a little tight around their religious fantasy.
There's something carnal worth worshipping.
(See Freud, Sigismund Schlomo)
Those cups are mighty small, and look oh soooo uncomfortable. I guess what they say about Chinese mens manhood must be true....
No takers on my Elvis portrait ? Ok, how bout a ship made of string wound around some nails ? Now THATS art.
Can't compare to my Crying Clown painting or my Three Stooges silhouette mirror.
