 In January, Bend horse trainer Betsy Soule picked up the phone to hear the voice of a friend she hadn’t spoken to in close to 40 years. 
  
 “She just called me out of the blue,” said Soule, 60. “She said, ‘You’ve got to get on the Internet and look up ‘Antiques Roadshow’; that weird pot you made is on there.” 
  
 The weird pot — a jug, actually — more than a foot tall and decorated with six grotesque, gargoylelike faces, had been made by Soule in a ceramics class at Eugene’s Churchill High School in 1973 or 1974. The jug’s precise whereabouts over the last four decades remain a mystery, but eventually it made its way in to the hands of Florence resident Alvin Barr. 
  
 Last summer, Barr took the jug to Spokane, Washington, for a taping of “Antiques Roadshow,” a public television program where experts examine art and collectibles and attempt to explain where they were made and their approximate value. Online, the segment is referred to as the “Grotesque Face Jug.” 
  
 In Spokane, appraiser Stephen Fletcher said the style of the jug suggested it was made on the East Coast in the late 19th or early 20th century and compared the distorted faces to the paintings of Pablo Picasso. He estimated it could sell for $30,000 to $50,000 at auction. 
  
 “This, in its own way, is really over the top,” Fletcher said on the broadcast aired in January. “It’s bizarre and wonderful.” 
  
 Soule and her old friend got in contact with the show’s producers and provided photos and other evidence to prove she was its creator. 
  
 Fletcher issued a corrected appraisal — $3,000 to $5,000, well above the $300 Barr paid when he found it, covered in straw and chicken droppings, in a barn at a Eugene-area estate sale. 
  
 Soule said she was amazed to learn something she made in high school could be worth even what Barr paid for it. At the time she made it, she was unfamiliar with the style of jugs the appraiser referenced on the show and was just sculpting what came to her in her imagination. 
  
 “I was just a really passionate, artistic kid,” she said. “I don’t know where those faces came from; they just came roaring out of me onto those pots.” 
  
 After high school, Soule attended Lane Community College and then the University of Oregon. She studied art and continued making ceramics, but after about two years, she gave it up for good. She’s been training horses professionally ever since. 
  
 Soule said the “Antiques Roadshow” experience and Barr’s subsequent offer to buy any other pieces she still had was gratifying, suggesting maybe she’d had the talent to make it as a professional artist after all. 
  
 Still, she’s not completely convinced. 
  
 “Actually, I probably would have starved to death,” she said. “But the whole story has had me laughing out loud for over a month now; it’s just the most fun thing ever.” 
  
 Barr, an antiques broker, said he thought the jug could be worth as much as $3,000 when he found it at the estate sale but wasn’t looking at it as an investment. He just liked it. 
  
 “I collect odd stuff,” Barr said. “If it’s different and weird, it belongs in my collection.” 
  
 After talking with friends about the jug’s similarity to pottery created by slaves in the mid- to late-1800s, he decided to take it to the “Antiques Roadshow” taping. The appraisal by the show’s expert was a surprise, but not all good news — upon learning its possible value, he packed it inside multiple boxes and stashed it behind his couch to protect it from damage. 
  
 “I hated it when it was $30,000 to $50,000, because who wants $30,000 to $50,000 lying around their house?” he said. “Now, it’s on my table, and I love it.” 
  
 “Antiques Roadshow” executive producer Marsha Bemko said although the experts who appraise objects on the show do their homework and confer with each other before making a guess at an item’s origins or value, they still miss the mark occasionally. 
  
 Objects like Soule’s jug can be particularly hard to appraise, Bemko said, particularly compared with china or silver stamped with the identifying mark of a manufacturer. 
  
 “The best things we see, the five- and six-figure objects, are as a rule unique, or one of a kind, or so rare,” Bemko said. “Common things are not worth that kind of money — that’s what makes appraisal very difficult.” 
  
 Bemko said while the discovery of the jug’s true origins reduced its value, it doesn’t detract from its craftsmanship. 
  
 “It was worth more when we didn’t know who made it,” she said. “The devil’s in the details.” 
  
 Soule said seeing arts experts praise her work on television and assign it a high monetary value — even if it’s less than originally thought — has got her wondering if she should try her hand at ceramic sculpting again. 
  
 “If I ever retire at 103 or something, maybe I’ll get back in to it,” she said.

 It was the jug’s strange composition that caught Alvin Barr’s eye. The antiques broker from Oregon was at an estate sale when he noticed the object in the barn, covered by a layer of straw and dirt and chicken poop. 
  
 Upon closer inspection, the many-hued purplish-brown jug had six faces jutting out from its textured clay body, each sporting a distinct expression of woe. One face had a stitched-up eye, another a forked tongue. And their sculpted skins ranged from furs to scales. 
  
 Barr knew he had to have it, and paid $300 to take it home. Later, he would tell an appraiser on “Antiques Roadshow”: “It speaks to me.” 
  
 “What was it saying?” asked the appraiser, Stephen Fletcher. 
  
 “It was saying, ‘I’m very unusual,'” Barr responded. “‘I’m very different.'” 
  
 Fletcher concurred. The American decorative arts expert noted that while “it’s a little difficult to identify precisely when this was made,” it likely had origins from the late 19th to early 20th century. The age of the jug, combined with the potter’s inventiveness and the “impressive array of techniques” used, made it a valuable item. 
  
 Just how valuable was it? To Barr’s palpable shock, Fletcher estimated that the object — hereon dubbed “Grotesque Face Jug” — was worth between $30,000 and $50,000, potentially more. 
  
 Barr was shaken. “I thought I over — I over — excuse me,” he stuttered. “I thought I overpaid.” 
  
 “I’ve never seen anything quite like it, ever,” Fletcher said. “And I’ve been doing this for 20 years.”

 The exchange followed the arc of a typical segment of “Antiques Roadshow,” a traveling PBS program that invites collectors across the country to have their items appraised by experts. Often, the object appears to have been wrested from obscurity by its sharp-eyed owner, who loves it dearly despite its dubious value. Then, to everyone’s surprise, the expert reveals that the object is worth tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands more than originally suspected. 
  
 Now in its 20th season, the show has been nominated for multiple Emmys and boasts a loyal fan base. Its appeal is two-fold: each “hidden treasure” offers both a small history lesson and the hopeful promise that any unwitting buyer, at any time, can strike gold. 
  
 On the “Grotesque Face Jug” segment that aired in January, Barr was that buyer, but his triumph was short-lived. Soon afterwards, the program received a call from a viewer who claimed to know the maker of the supposedly century-old jug. 
  
 She remembered it from high school, the caller said. It was made by her friend in the 1970s. 
  
 That friend was Betsy Soule, now a 60-year-old horse trainer in Bend, Ore. Her artistic prowess had gone more or less unnoticed until an interview with the Bend Bulletin last week, in which Soule said she hadn’t heard from the friend in four decades when she got a call about the jug. 
  
 “She said, ‘You’ve got to get on the Internet and look up ‘Antiques Roadshow’,” Soule told the Bulletin. “That weird pot you made is on there.” 
  
 Sure enough, it was: the project for a ceramics class at Churchill High School in Eugene, Ore., characterized as a unique art piece from the Mid-Atlantic coast of 19th-century America. Fletcher had pegged the jug’s design to a style Soule was unfamiliar with, she said. The object was more adolescent imagination than historical rendering. 
  
 “I was just a really passionate, artistic kid,” Soule told the Bulletin. “I don’t know where those faces came from; they just came roaring out of me onto those pots.” 
  
 PBS issued a correction on the item’s Web page in February. Fletcher wrote of the blunder: 
  
 This example, with its six grotesque faces, was modeled or sculpted with considerable imagination, virtuosity and technical competence….The techniques of making pottery, in many ways, haven’t changed for centuries. Obviously, I was mistaken as to its age by 60 to 80 years. I feel the value at auction, based on its quality and artistic merit, is in the $3,000-$5,000 range. Still not bad for a high schooler in Oregon. 
  
 Soule studied art at the University Oregon and made ceramics for a few years, only to forgo the craft for professional horse-training. Barr has offered to buy any other pieces she has. 
  
 After the “Antiques Roadshow” appraisal, he stowed the jug inside multiple boxes and hidden it behind his couch, for fear that it might suffer errant damage. 
  
 “I hated it when it was $30,000 to $50,000, because who wants $30,000 to $50,000 lying around their house?” Barr told the Bulletin. “Now, it’s on my table, and I love it.”

 An ugly-faced jug was appraised at $50,000 on the show last year. The appraiser estimated it dated back to the late 19th or early 20th centuries. In fact, a woman actually made it in an Oregon high school art class in the 1970s. Horse trainer Betsy Soule claimed the piece when a friend recognized it on the show, according to the Bend Bulletin.

 The show rarely makes such mistakes. The appraiser from that particular episode, Stephen L. Fletcher, released a statement in which he said, "as far as its age is concerned, I was fooled, as were some of my colleagues.” He has re-appraised the piece at $3,000 to $5,000 on the PBS website. |||||
A: 
It's "rare" for Antiques Roadshow to make a mistake when appraising items, Time notes, but it does happen—and it happened in January in a big way. The show took a look at an item it calls "Grotesque Face Jug," a jug with bizarre faces on it that antiques broker Alvin Barr found in a barn at an estate sale and bought for $300. Stephen Fletcher, an appraiser on the show, acknowledged that "it's a little difficult to identify precisely when this was made," the Washington Post reports, but ultimately estimated its worth at between $30,000 and $50,000. He guessed that it was likely created in the late 19th or early 20th century on the East Coast, but was a little off: It was actually created in 1973 or 1974 by then-student Betsy Soule at Churchill High School in Eugene, Ore. An old friend recognized the jug on the show and called Soule, and together they submitted evidence to the show proving she was the actual creator. Soule, who considered a career in the arts before going on to become a horse trainer, told the Bend Bulletin back in March that she's not sure how exactly the jug got from her possession to the barn where Barr found it. Antiques Roadshow officially corrected its estimate of the jug's worth in February, with Fletcher admitting, "I was fooled, as were some of my colleagues." His new estimate of the jug's worth: between $3,000 and $5,000, "based on its quality and artistic merit." Barr is far from disappointed: "I hated it when it was $30,000 to $50,000, because who wants $30,000 to $50,000 lying around their house?" he said, noting that he had it packed away for safekeeping after the show. "Now, it's on my table, and I love it." (Here's a much more valuable Antiques Roadshow discovery.)
