The highest valuation in its history has been given for this group of rhino libation cups on the American Antiques Roadshow. Dating from the late 17th or early 18th century they have been appraised at between $1 million and $1.5 million US dollars. The owner collected them in the 1970s and was unaware of their amazing increase in value.
