Fans of hit antiques show Bargain Hunt have been issued some sage words of advice after what looked like a teapot fetched nearly £400,000 at auction.
Presenter Natasha Raskin Sharp, 36, fronted a repeat on Thursday afternoon, March 23, and was joined by auctioneer Charles Hanson, 45, reports the Mirror. He brought with him a "special object" which, while resembling a teapot at first glance, was actually a "rare Chinese wine ewer".
Described by Charles as "very sacred, very important and very rare", the decorative item was yellow and featured colourful floral designs on it. He went on to explain that the jug would have been used by the court of Emperor Qianlong in the 18th century.
