Bargain Hunt was the scene of a huge sale when a teapot, which someone had found in their loft and was going to go to a charity show, sold for almost £400,000. Host Natasha Raskin Sharp was able to give some good advice for all viewers after the amazing spectacle.
Auctioneer Charles Hansen made the sale in Thursday’s episode of the BBC 1 antiques show and he described it as “the ultimate Bargain Hunt find.” Derbyshire-based Charles said it had been bought to him by a client who wasn’t sure if it was worth anything, DerbyshireLive reported.
He explained: “Our client came into the sale room with a bag for charity but then this came out and he said, ‘is it worth anything?’” The item was a Chinese teapot or ‘ewer’ which was in a carrier bag full of junk the owner was about to take to a charity shop.
