    We have this very popular TV show in the Netherlands called Tussen Kunst en Kitsch. It is a well-known format where people can bring anything they like to get it looked at and appraised by a team of experts. I have been a fan of this show for as long I can remember and finally my mother, my sister and I decided to go ourselves. They encouraged me to bring this Kralik inkwell, but I was a bit hesitant since I already know what it is and don't need to get it appraised, but in the end I gave in. We had a lovely day and even ended up on television, but there was a very long wait to see the experts. It took us about three hours to get to the right expert, a man who has been with the show since 1990. But it was late, he was obviously tired and without giving the inkwell a second glance he says: Pallme König.
    This didn't come as a surprise to me, but still I felt disappointed. I had really hoped he would get it right. I didn't want to say anything with all those people standing around, so I thanked him and left.

      Thank you, rucklczglass! You must really love this show to watch it in a language you don't speak ;-)! Did you get any of it? As you will probably know, at some point during the show, the host and one of the experts invite someone at their table and when you make it to that table, you know you have something special. We saw a man who brought some kind of ancient Roman millefiori saucer which unfortunately had a crack in it. But when the expert took a good look at it, she saw that the saucer was made out of clay. Made out of clay and covered with glass, a technique she had never seen used before in these kind of saucers. So in this particular case, the crack made it more valuable!

      Lisa, about six months ago something similar happened on our show. A woman brought a primitive-looking painting and a new expert claimed it was a very early Karel Appel, a Dutch expressionist painter, worth about 20,000 - 25,000 euros. Naturally, the woman, was very pleased to hear this, especially since her father bought it in the 1950s for only 5 guilders, a little over 2 euros.
      But soon after the show aired, a few real Appel experts said this claim didn't make any sense. They were right, it turned out it was made in the 70s by a relatively unknown artist. Poor woman.

      In the Netherlands we have master forger Han van Meegeren and more recently Geert-Jan Jansen who claims his work can be found in musea all over the world.

      Yes, I know Rozenburg, I love it!
