Henry Sandon, longtime Antiques Roadshow expert, television personality, author and lecturer, has died. Sandon died “peacefully” Monday at a care home in Malvern, Worcestershire, his son John Sandon confirmed to BBC. He was 95.
Sandon joined BBC One’s Antiques Roadshow in 1979 as the resident expert on porcelain and pottery. His final appearance was on September 30, 2018.
“To the millions who tuned in every Sunday evening to watch The Antiques Roadshow, Henry was like a favourite uncle, whose enthusiasm for even the humblest piece of chipped china was infectious,” John Sandon, who also appeared on the show, said in a statement.
“His joy when he discovered a rare Staffordshire pottery owl jug, nicknamed ‘Ozzie’, was a magic TV moment few will forget.”
Sandon was an expert on Worcester porcelain and a curator of the Dyson Perrins Museum, which became the Worcester Porcelain Museum and then the Museum of Royal Worcester.
