$25.
It looks like a jack in the box, and like a child's toy, which immediately I was attracted to.
(laughs) I love color.
I love the shapes of this.
It made no sense to me, and it, uh, now sits in my kitchen in a place of honor.
(laughs) APPRAISER: Ok. What you brought today is this really fantastic Memphis-style ice bucket by Georges Briard.
He was an American designer active in the 20th century.
And the Memphis style, while it sounds like...
GUEST: Hm.
APPRAISER: ...it might have been from Tennessee, actually originated in Italy.
GUEST: Oh.
APPRAISER: And was popular in the 1980s but is experiencing a resurgence today.
GUEST: Okay.
APPRAISER: Memphis style, uh, while not super-well-known, has, uh, actually benefited from social media.
And in the early 1980s, there was kind of a look back at Art Deco.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: So some of the elements of Memphis style come from looking back to the Art Deco movement in the earlier part of the 20th century.
GUEST: Mm-hmm.
APPRAISER: And it is marked on the underside.
It says "designed and signed by Georges Briard."
And then it was made, uh, for him, uh, at a, from a company in Japan.
So it says "made in Japan."
GUEST: Oh, okay, it, made, yeah.
APPRAISER: I would insure this for $500.
GUEST: (laughs) No!
That's amazing.
That, wow.
It's just plastic.
APPRAISER: It's just plastic, but it's fabulous plastic.
GUEST: (chuckles) APPRAISER: So you made a really great find.
GUEST: Oh, wonderful.
