Antiques Roadshow viewers were left gobsmacked after finding out an 'ugly' bird statue was valued at tens of thousands of pounds.
Antiques dealer and expert Steven Moore issued the same sentiment claiming the artefact had a 'face only a mother could love' before leaving the guests stunned at the incredible price tag. Steven claimed that if the bird was in better condition, it could be worth up to £70,000. Steven said: "They are very collectible. There is an intriguing possibility. If you could find the head for this body, or if you could find the body for this head, you would have a profit of £60,000 to £70,000."
While another added: "Who, in their right mind, would spend £70k on a bit of pottery?," as a third tweeted: "£4K just for the head!’ while another follower penned: ‘Generally speaking, I love Martin Bros’ Wally Birds, but gee… That’s ugly."
