A small chipped cup produced for first class passengers on the Titanic has fetched £3,200 at auction after being discovered on a cluttered kitchen shelf.
The antique, marked "White Star Line", was spotted during a routine home visit in Burton-upon-Trent, Staffs., by auctioneer Charles Hanson.
The cobalt blue and gilt designed-cup turned out to be from a unique range of ceramics made exclusively for the ill-fated Titanic ship more than 100 years ago.
