I'm sure that she bought it at a garage sale or an estate sale because that was what she enjoyed doing.
I have no idea what she paid for it.
APPRAISER: You brought us a-a charming piece of Børn Wiinblad's work.
Born in Copenhagen in 1918, a very accomplished artist, designer.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: I think this may be the first piece of his work we've ever had on the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW.
GUEST: Oh, my.
APPRAISER: This piece is dated 1965.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: And I think that makes it fairly early.
They're not unique in that this piece would have been cast out of ceramic pottery of some nature, GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: But it has been hand painted.
The colors can vary.
The marks... We see in one corner, the B.W., for Børn Wiinblad and a date which appears to be 1965.
Amongst the marks is the term "efteraar," which I may not be pronouncing correctly, but it means "autumn."
So she's a representation of autumn.
You can see she has an umbrella, she has a basket of harvested fruit.
She has this enormous sunbonnet with flowers.
I have found this exact piece, a pair.
One was autumn, one was spring.
And a retail figure on a pair of them was $1,200.
But they were both later.
In the '80s, 1980s.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: I think, given the fact that this is an early piece from 1965, that an auction value would be somewhere in the $700 to $900 range.
GUEST: Oh, my.
APPRAISER: So she's cute as she can be.
And if this is the first time we've had a Børn Wiinblad piece, it's a good one to start off with.
