A set of plates that were destined for the charity shop turned out to be Chinese Ming Dynasty porcelain - and sold for £100,000 at auction.
The owner of the crockery, who had no idea of their true value, was given them by a man she used to help around the house.
Her children grew up with the porcelain on the shelves and walls of their family home in Etwall, Derbys, in the 1960s.
