The Most Valuable Item Ever Seen On Antiques Roadshow

Experienced Mason

It should have been just another episode of Antiques Roadshow for Lark E. Mason but it turned into a story that he would recall time to time again. It was early 2002, as the owner walked towards him, Mason eyes only saw the lion statue that was being brought to him.

He had spent a lifetime learning and teaching about antiques, especially from China, so if anyone could find more about the unassuming statue it was Mason. And just by simply looking at it, he knew that the owner had no idea how valuable of an item she was holding in her hands.
