'Big Surprise' Hidden Inside 150-Year-Old Irish Silver 'Spoon Warmer' | Antiques Roadshow

Haha, I was hoping once he told her the value that she would let a few expletives fly in shock, and then dropped some coins in the box.

That swear box is far too small for my local!

Holy crap is that a nautilus shell
Edit: I think I owe this thing like a few hundred quid

man: "i suggest you insure this swear box for 5000 pound"
Woman: drops a coin in the slot "f..."

Man rich people are born with warm silver spoons in their mouth. Had no idea.

I have several spoonwarmers like this but they are plated silver.

Allen partridge's brother, ah ha....

I've lived my whole uncivilized life eating food that was served with room-temperature spoons. Always held me back.

Reminds me soooo much of Hyacinth

OMG IT’S IRISH SILVER!!!!!

Why do you need to warm a spoon?

Okay ….so what was the surprise inside ? (Click bait scammed again)

Ah the utter disappointment moment of valuation...priceless!

SURPRISE! There was no surprise, total click bait. Shame on you Antiques Roadshow, I should unsubscribe.

That swear box is easily worth $6k/£5k. Nice!

Disappointed that we never found out what the 'Big Surprise' was that was hidden inside ??

So the big surprise was the “swear box” is a “swear box”?
That could be on Willie Wonka.
“The swear box is a swear box.” 😂

She's not from the estate then...

Always find it amusing how those with upper class accents pronounce their words with elongated intonations, for instance when saying the inflection makes it come over as 'ears', which sounds commical and somewhat ridiculous. Ho-ho, jolly hocky sticks and what a splendid and rather ridiculous way those posh folk speak, but what a spiffing way for the idle rich to spend their days!

The big surprise is there’s no surprise!

Yes.

I love that. A swear box! Great idea.

Mrs bucket 😂

Scam title

"Hmm" "Yes"

But where’s the huge surprise? Maybe that’s why this video has more dislikes than likes

another falsely named clickbait video. Why?

Antiques road show is click baiting now? Come on!!

Possibly the worst reason I've ever heard for getting rid of a piece of antique silver with family history- "the insurance was too much".

Why did a scottish regiment have irish silver? Because it was a swear box, duh lol

When told the insurance value of her swear box I really wanted her to say “well F me!”

Irish guy walks in to a bar with dogs poo in his hands and angrily says "Look what was just outside and I almost stood in!"

We couldn't afford to warm the one spoon my family had.. finally had to sell it.

You wonder if this was a cheeky gift from an Irish regiment after spending time with a Scottish regiment and the amount of swearing that occured.

Happy memories of warm spoons from the warmer as a child. Being a younger born of the family I had to settle with an inheritance of a "plated" warmer. Works as well but I'll always have to settle with less-than sterling.

Of course if you lived somewhere where the police actually solved and prosecuted burglaries, you wouldn't have to insure it at all.

Made in Ireland? That's not just a swear box. You would have to call that the "moneymaker"

Click bait.

How can you eat your pudding if you don't have warm spoons!!!

really? yes

Her father was coloniser thief probably

Well, 150 years ago, the whole home might have been cold as a well digger's posterior and metal objects in the home might not help enjoy a bowl of soup or cup of tea or coffee as much as a warm spoon. I warm up my coffee cup before I pour the hot coffee in it. Works for me.

Antiques Roadshow CLICKBAIT!

But their servants never told them how they kept the spoons so consistently accurately well-temperatured.

Great clickbait.
Good old BBC.

I warm my spoons organically. In my mouth.

'minds me summat of an American presidential campaign song from 1840 put about by the supporters of the Whig William Henry Harrison contrasting his supposedly humble beginnings with the alleged wealth and refinement of the Democratic incumbent, Martin van Buren: "Let van from his coolers of silver drink wine / And recline on his cushioned settee . . . ." The joke was that Harrison (a genuine war hero) was much wealthier than van Buren, but "Little van" got clobbered nonetheless. However, nothing in Harrison's biography indicates that he had a silver spoon warmer, which, had there been one and its existence becoming known, might have turned the tide in van Buren's favor! (Thus endeth the lesson for the day.)
