At the time, antiques expert Allan Katz estimated the jug to be worth between a jaw-dropping $65,000 and $85,000.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you kidding me? Oh my god,\u201d Tom said in the 2004 episode.<\/p>\n<p>In the new episode, Katz shared an update, explaining what happened when the cameras stopped rolling. \u201cThat was the Saturday and Monday morning, the phone rang, and it was Tom,\u201d Katz revealed. \u201cHe said, \u2018Were you serious about the price? Because we could really use some money.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Katz went on to say he arranged to have the jug picked up two days later, and he brought it to the Philadelphia Antiques Show and sold the piece for an astonishing $110,000.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FRoadshowPBS%2Fvideos%2F1092659391909345%2F&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=560&amp;t=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"429\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember calling Tom that night, and he was just blown away,\u201d Katz continued. \u201cThey then told me, for the first time in their lives, they had enough in their bank account to now apply to adopt a child\u2026 a baby boy from Guatemala.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the story is bittersweet, as Tom passed away four years later at the age of 46. His wife, Carol, had written Katz and told him about it and thanked him for the good times on <em>Antiques Roadshow,<\/em> as well as helping bring their son, Henry, into their lives.<\/p>\n<p>In a beautiful moment, Carol and a grown-up Henry reunited with Katz and the stoneware jug. During the catch-up, Carol revealed she and Tom also made another purchase with the money, a used Volkswagen Beetle they nicknamed \u201cthe Jug Bug.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_1164499\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1164499\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1164499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug-1014x552.jpg\" alt=\"A jug on Antiques Roadshow\" width=\"1014\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug-1014x552.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug-450x245.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug-768x418.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug-570x310.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/antiques-roadshow-jug.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1014px) 100vw, 1014px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1164499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">PBS Facebook<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always known about the jug,\u201d added Henry, who explained he\u2019d recently graduated high school. \u201cIt contributes to the person who I am today.
