Antiques Roadshow PBS gave a thrift-shop auction purchase another turn in the spotlight, and the owner's disbelief needs no updating. When Arlie Sulka puts a five-figure retail value on his Swedish glass vase, he checks that he has heard the word "thousand" correctly.

The segment, filmed in Bismarck in 2014, is the week's most-watched new upload. It previews "Thrifty Deals," a special devoted to secondhand discoveries. The owner paid $100 for the Orrefors vase, attracted by its chameleons, color and unusual thickness. Sulka calls it probably the heaviest vase she has ever appraised.

There is craftsmanship beneath that weight. Sulka identifies Edvin Öhrström's signature and explains the Ariel technique: air deliberately trapped between layers of glass makes the designs visible. Her original retail estimate was $35,000 to $45,000; the closing graphic raises that range to $45,000 to $55,000 for 2026. Viewers are discussing the owner's drawn-out reaction to the valuation, while some recognize Sulka from other glass appraisals.

Three uploads made for a varied week. A Colonel Sanders white-suit appraisal offered a costume-related throwback, while "A Lasting Impression | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW DETOURS Full Video Podcast Episode" sent host Adam Monahan into the history of a purported James Madison wax seal and a second seal that remains missing.

The channel added roughly 1,000 subscribers, though daily viewing is below its usual pace. Its weekly views were close to Turner Classic Movies' total, while BritBox had a much busier week.

The vase preview carries the strongest daily momentum. Behind it, "Full Episode: Vintage First Finds, Hour 6 | ANTIQUES ROADSHOW" revisits first-season objects, and the baseball compilation keeps Joe DiMaggio's game-used bat and a Boston Red Stockings archive in circulation.
