0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today's show comes from Newark in Nottinghamshire
0:00:04 > 0:00:06and this is the town's castle.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Now, interestingly, DH Lawrence also lived in this fair county
0:00:10 > 0:00:13and did you know that his most famous work,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17Lady Chatterley's Lover, was published almost 90 years ago?
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Oh! Well, don't look at me.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21I'm a betrothed woman.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Now, as always, our teams have £300 but just one hour
0:00:51 > 0:00:55to buy three antiques that they hope will make a profit at auction,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and believe me, that is not easy.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The Reds are hungry for a bargain...
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Prawn sandwiches, some scones at the bottom.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- Yeah.- There we go.- That'll be nice. - Is it time for lunch yet?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11..there's confusion with the Blues...
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Feel that.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- 300.- £3.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Was it three? My eyesight's going!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20..and there's real excitement in the saleroom.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24(You're joking!)
0:01:24 > 0:01:27But that's all for later. For now, to the teams.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29We've got two pairs of married couples today.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32For the Reds, we have Michael and Amanda,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34and for the Blues, we've got Tina and Steve.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Welcome, everyone.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36- ALL:- Hello!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Thank you for joining us and we're going to turn straight to the Reds,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41I'm not turning my back on you, Blues,
0:01:41 > 0:01:42so tell us your romantic story.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43How did you meet?
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I was sat in the conservatory part of the restaurant
0:01:46 > 0:01:49that I was working at in the hotel, I was the head chef,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and we were interviewing for a second chef.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55The bus pulled up outside the hotel and this beautiful young lady
0:01:55 > 0:01:59got off the bus and she came for an interview
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and she was successful to get the job, and from there,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05it was pretty much love at first sight.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Fantastic. So two chefs in the kitchen together?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09No, I wasn't the chef.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I was interviewing for a waitress job,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14which didn't last very long because I didn't like it at all.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Oh, right! Mike, now you do something different for work.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18You're not in the kitchen any more.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I do. I work for one of the country's largest caterers.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I work in health care, um, division of the company.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27So when you're not making sure that kitchens are germ-free,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- what do you get up to?- I used to do quite a lot of DJing.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33'80s music and a bit of DJing.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35No! Chas & Dave kind of style?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yeah, a bit of Rabbit, a bit of "rabbit rabbit."
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Over to you, Amanda, what do you do now?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I work for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service
0:02:41 > 0:02:43as an administrator in the education department.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And it's quite fitting that you worked in the Ambulance Service
0:02:46 > 0:02:48cos I'm sure at one point you sustained an injury
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- and Mike came to your rescue.- Yes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52I spilt a great big glass... A tray of glasses,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and obviously, there was a couple of cuts,
0:02:55 > 0:02:59so him being the resident first aid at the hotel, I think, at the time,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00said, "I will bandage you up."
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And if you know anything about kitchens, there are blue plasters.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09- Yes.- But I had about 50 on this hand and 50 on this hand!
0:03:09 > 0:03:10I could not work at all.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- I'm sure Michael made you feel much more calm and relaxed.- Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And blue! But ironically today, you are the Red team.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Yes.- How do you think you're going to work together as a Red team
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- on Bargain Hunt?- I think we'll work together pretty well, don't we?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Yeah, we are going to... - We agree on most things.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Yeah. So I think we are going to be...
0:03:25 > 0:03:27You might be doing the bargaining for us.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yeah, I hope so.- You will take the lead when it comes to haggling.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Well, I like to.- Oh, fantastic.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34He's Yorkshire.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- We have the war cry. - You've got it in your blood.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Yes. Yes.- So, thank you very much, let's turn over to our Blues,
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Tina and Steve.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Thank you for joining us and do you have an equally romantic story
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- about how you met?- Absolutely, yes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Gosh, yes.- Tell us how it all came to be.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Well, I work on a holiday park.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I was the maintenance manager,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54and my wife here was a domestic cleaner.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And I was doing my usual checks on the park, as you do,
0:03:57 > 0:04:01and I spied this young lady, and I thought, "Hmm!
0:04:01 > 0:04:03"I might go and offer her a cup of tea."
0:04:03 > 0:04:08So I shot back to my office and made a cup of tea.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10"Would you like a cup of tea, love?"
0:04:10 > 0:04:13"Oh, yes, please," she said. And it sort of went from there.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16And I took my pack up there and we shared it in the car
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and we ended up on the beach having fish and chips.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21That's lovely. That has to be the most British story of all time.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Tea and fish and chips. - Tea and fish and chips.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- At the holiday park. - At the holiday park, yeah.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- Yeah, on the beach. Fantastic. - That's ever so sweet!
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So, when you're not chatting and making cups of tea and working hard
0:04:30 > 0:04:33at the holiday park, how do you spend your spare time?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I have a model railway layout 00 gauge,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39based on the LNER system.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Really?- Yeah, she's going to say "toy train set" in a minute.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44That would upset you greatly.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46That really does upset me, and anybody out there
0:04:46 > 0:04:48who has model trains will know they are not toys.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51They are proper engineered machines, yes.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54And what about your hobbies? In your spare time, what do you get up to?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I like gardening. I love the garden and I like to go out
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and sit in the garden and do my plants.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Oh, right!- Yeah. - And do you grow anything?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04I think you have an allotment.
0:05:04 > 0:05:05I do, yes.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I go down and I've got plenty of vegetables.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, it sounds like you two are always busy.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Do you think that you will be busy bees when you go out shopping
0:05:14 > 0:05:15or are you going to be laid-back?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17What kind of tactics are you going to have?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19A price limit on each object.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Yes.- We are going to look a bit for our expert,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25hopefully he will get us a nice bonus buy at the end of the day.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Might need it!- Yeah, might need it!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29You might, but you might not.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32You never know. Think positively.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Well, you need to go shopping now, that's what we're here to do,
0:05:34 > 0:05:36so I'm going to give you each £300.
0:05:36 > 0:05:37That's for you, Reds.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40And Blues, you get the very same. So off you go!
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Your shops and experts await.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Thank you.- Well, we know it's happy camping at the holiday park,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47but will it be happy camping here today?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Let's find out.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55And the two experts who are helping out the teams today are...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Gary Pe, who will be rocking out with the Reds.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And keeping the Blues buoyant, it's Kate Bliss.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07So, Michael and Amanda, what are you going to be looking for?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Some silver.- Really?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Some silver. - You're both agreed on that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12I'm going for silver.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Yes?- Probably a glass or two.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Nice trinkety bowls, silvery.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- OK.- Bonbon dishes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Yes, bonbon dishes.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- So, I'm thinking decorative, rather than practical maybe?- Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28I'd love to buy some vintage 00 gauge model trains,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- but I don't know if the wife... - You mean toys?
0:06:30 > 0:06:32No! They are models!
0:06:32 > 0:06:33ALARM RINGS
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Get ready, get set, and go.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Your time starts now, teams.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Well, I think the antiques hunt is this way.- OK.- Great.- Come on!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43One hour, let's find those bargains.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Super!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47So, bling for the Reds and toys...
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Sorry, Steve, model trains for the Blues.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Best get cracking, teams.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Oh, there's loads up here, guys.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Come and have a look.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oh, look, now there's loads of shiny things here, Amanda.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Perfect.- Look at this.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- What do you think? - The Staffordshire dogs?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Yeah, what do you think of them?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Right away from here, they are reproduction.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Nice work, Gary.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08Moving on, then, team.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Oh, what's Michael spotted?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's great. Thank you very much.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16So, what were you saying, Michael?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19These... The cup at the back, what would that be?
0:07:19 > 0:07:24I think that might even be a little chalice for ecclesiastical use.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I thought you were going to say this little cup.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Yes.- Because I spotted that little cup.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- What do you think of that, Amanda? - That's really sweet.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Because I had a peek in here...
0:07:32 > 0:07:39It says on here, collapsible cup, Victorian, it's silver-plated,
0:07:39 > 0:07:41it's not silver.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45But I think if you very carefully push it down, just...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48There we go. It concertinas down.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I think it would go even flatter than that, actually.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54And then you can just pop it in your pocket.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, it's like a little stirrup cup,
0:07:56 > 0:08:00if you're on horseback or if a gentleman is about town
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- and he wants to take a little nip... - OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03..with his friend...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Yeah.- ..out comes the little cup.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I think it's quite fun.- Yeah.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Because it collapses, so I think, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11The only thing against it perhaps is that it's silver plate,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14rather than silver.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- OK.- And some silver collectors are quite pedantic about that.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Yeah.- It has to be silver.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22But it's just a nice little novelty object.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23What do you want to do?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Do you want to have a think about that one or...?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Again, with it being silver plate... - Yeah.- Think about...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I'd like to go for something with a hallmark and solid.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- OK. That's fine.- OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Well, you're on the right lines, Reds.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Keep your eyes peeled for those all-important hallmarks.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Oh, it looks as though the Blues have beaten you to it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I can see the anchor there,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46which says that this was made in Birmingham.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What's this one for?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49It could be a tea caddy.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52You could put anything in here. Bonbons, spices...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Wouldn't that come as a set?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57No. Not necessarily.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It's good enough to stand on its own.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I like the fact that the crystal has this bevelling.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05So that was machine cut, not by hand.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08If you feel the edges, you can see that they are quite sharp.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Ridges.- Yeah.- Most of the pieces that you would find like this
0:09:12 > 0:09:14are usually moulded.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- No damage.- No damage. Exactly.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18No sharp edges right there.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I could probably go for that one.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22So the crystal is fine,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26and it's sort of a nice Regency shape.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Right. And what sort of price would you put on that,
0:09:29 > 0:09:30at an auction, like?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I would say 30-40.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- 30-40.- So it has a chance.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36A bit of a chance. I think we'll go and have a haggle,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- unless you want to haggle. - No, I'll leave it to you.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- I thought you might. - You are the bargainer.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I will go and find the dealer and see if we can get
0:09:43 > 0:09:45a little bit shaved off that price.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Go on, then.- Thank you.- Do us proud.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I was thinking £18?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I will say 25.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh, you're killing me.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58I tell you what...
0:09:58 > 0:10:01£20, I'll shake your hand.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- You can.- Thank you very much.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Thank you.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07£20?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Well done.- Thank you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Nice one.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14First haggle of the day and I'd say that went pretty well, Steve.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15Well done.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- That's the first one. - First one done.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Lovely.- And everyone agrees.- Yes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Good buy.- Thank you.- Yes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's another serving for the Reds.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25There we go.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29So, this chrome handle is almost a bit Art Deco, actually, in style,
0:10:29 > 0:10:30which is quite nice.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33But let's flip it up and let's see...
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Ah, now that is exactly what I was hoping for.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38So we've got a printed mark here for the factory,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39which is Royal Winton ware.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- OK.- Now, Royal Winton were based in Staffordshire
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and they made a lot of what's known as chintz ware.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51Lovely sort of patterns that remind you of an English cottage garden,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53you know, floral sprigs.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55This is a little bit different because, obviously,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58it's imitating tapestry or embroidery.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02But it's exactly how it started out in life
0:11:02 > 0:11:04because both plates have that nice stamp.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08We've got Royal Winton on both of them, which is really nice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10And here's the name of the pattern here.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Can you read that, Amanda?
0:11:12 > 0:11:13Is it Queen Anne?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14- Queen Anne.- There we go.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16So how old do you think this is?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well, looking at the Royal Winton on the bottom there,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I would say that that is '50s, '60s in date.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Which is really nice. It's what collectors like.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27They like them from the period, the vintage period.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30And it's also really nice because the gilt edging just gives it
0:11:30 > 0:11:32a bit of a lift, but it's also in lovely condition,
0:11:32 > 0:11:37and it's the gilt that tends to wear first on a printed pattern.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38- I really like that.- I like that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- I really like that.- You could see some nice buns, cakes,
0:11:41 > 0:11:42and some nice cream scones on there.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Yeah.- Oh, now you're talking!
0:11:44 > 0:11:46Prawn sandwiches and scones on the bottom.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Yeah.- There we go.- That'd be nice.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Is it time for lunch yet?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53OK, so what would we like to pay? That's the next question.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Because we've got...- 20.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Yeah.- I'd like to see it for ten, if we could.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Would you?- Yeah, I'd like to see that for ten.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Who is going to do the bargaining, then?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I shall leave it to the ladies, first one...for the first one.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Amanda. Jill.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Comes right on cue.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Jill, we really like this cake stand.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- OK.- We really like it.- OK.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13So would you able to do ten on that?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Oh...I dare say 15.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Could you do it for ten?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I can go and enquire for you.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23- Would you?- Please. Do you mind?
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- The man is here. - OK, fantastic.- Excellent.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30A 50% discount - it's a big ask, but you never know your luck.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Meanwhile, back with the Blues.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34She's found something.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- A horse and cart. Do you like that? - Models.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- Not toys.- It's got "toys" on it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Is that something for you? Tin toys are very popular.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Mm.- Especially for men who sort of...
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Yeah.- ..think back to their childhood and remember...
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Yeah, yeah.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Hm. It's not a train, though, is it, Gary?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Oh, Jill's back with the price.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Ah, here she comes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Right. The dealer said ten.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- Fantastic.- Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05You must have worked your magic!
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Fantastic.- I said, "Ten," and he said, "Go on."
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Thank you. That's fantastic. Thank you very much.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Thank you. That's brilliant. - Brilliant.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Well done, Reds. You've got your first item in just over 15 minutes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21It's a brilliant start. Well done.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Well done. So, only two to go.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- One down...- One down, Golden Gavel on the way.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Cool, calm and confident.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I like your style.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Back with the Blues, Gary has sniffed out a classic collectable.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34What do you think of this, team?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36To me, it's just an empty glass.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Perfume bottle and it evokes the spirit of the 1930s.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Art Deco. Doesn't it remind you of Manhattan?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- It does, yes.- The skyscrapers.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46It does, yes. Definitely.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50There is a very big following internationally for perfume bottles.
0:13:50 > 0:13:56It says Parfum Modernistic, by the perfume company Landor.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59It is, if you feel the stopper, it's all there.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- It's all there.- It's not chipped or anything.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- It's original. - It's quite light, though.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Yeah, no, but the stopper isn't. If you take the stopper out.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08It's quite heavy.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Right, well, shall we haggle on that?
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- I think we might have a haggle on that, yeah.- Yeah.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Do you want me to do this one? - Go on then.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17So, it's Tina's turn for a haggle.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19The perfume bottle is priced up at £18
0:14:19 > 0:14:23and it seems the Reds are also checking out the glass goodies.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26It says it's Loetz style, but it's actually not Loetz.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I quite like that. Do you like that?
0:14:28 > 0:14:30- The glassware, the green?- Yeah.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- The great big...- That's quite nice.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- Would it be for a candle? - What would it be used for?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Just... It's just a decorative vase. - OK.- It's not the actual use.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38No.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Well, surely you can keep flowers in it.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Here she comes.- How did you do?
0:14:44 > 0:14:45So, Tina, what's the verdict?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47How much do you think?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49I think you probably got it for 15.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51£10!
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Yes! And did you say yes?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- I did.- Well done.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56- Thank you.- Well done.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- My first haggle.- Fantastic.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Team, I think we are on our way to those...
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- Golden Gavels!- Yes!
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Well done, Tina.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06That's two down for the Blues.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08We're almost halfway through the shop.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's leave the Reds searching for their second item.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Now, here's a Bargain Hunt favourite.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Keen-eyed viewers will instantly recognise
0:15:23 > 0:15:25what I have in front of me.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27It's a squat vase
0:15:27 > 0:15:31by none other than William Moorcroft himself.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34There is that famous green flash signature,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37given that name of course because it's so wildly scrawled.
0:15:37 > 0:15:43And then, below that, made for none other than Liberty & Co.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Well, what of this pattern itself,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47this particular example?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49We know its name is Hazeldene,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52we know the palette is very tonal and discreet,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55but this one in particular
0:15:55 > 0:15:57is perhaps not as desirable
0:15:57 > 0:15:59as some would hope.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02You really, as a collector,
0:16:02 > 0:16:03want those trees
0:16:03 > 0:16:05not to have such a watery effect.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07You can see that the glaze
0:16:07 > 0:16:08has run a little.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Now, believe me, that's by design.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13This is a man honing a style, but in the end,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16the collectors want the clearer,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19crisper examples of the Hazeldene pattern
0:16:19 > 0:16:22and we couldn't truly say that this is one.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Furthermore, you will see all over the glaze here
0:16:26 > 0:16:28little hairline cracks.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32On ceramics, you call that crazing, and I think that any auction house
0:16:32 > 0:16:34would be remiss not to mention
0:16:34 > 0:16:37that this little vase is crazed throughout.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41And just in case you were thinking, "I could live with that,"
0:16:41 > 0:16:43in fact, there's another problem.
0:16:43 > 0:16:48There's a great big chunk that's come out of the rim of the vase.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50So, had it been in perfect condition,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54maybe £700-800 would be the hammer price that we'd expect at auction.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56But as it is, I think 150-250
0:16:56 > 0:17:00would be a very responsible and conservative estimate
0:17:00 > 0:17:02for such a lovely thing.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07So, remember this pattern - Hazeldene.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11It's a beautiful example of turn-of-the-century taste.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15Not only that, it was designed by William Moorcroft himself,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19one of the Potteries' most famous ever potters.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Right then, time to check out how the teams are getting on.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31We are just over halfway through the shop,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34the Reds are up against it with only one purchase.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36The Blues however...
0:17:36 > 0:17:39They are going to things that they like
0:17:39 > 0:17:42and they are good hagglers as well,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46and all of that points to that Golden Gavel.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Sure about that, Gary?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Feel that.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51£300.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Is it?- Well, it's not £3.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Three. It's £3.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Is it three? My eyesight's going!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Come on, guys. Pull it together.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Hold on, what's Kate spotted?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Oh, I quite like that, though, guys, just before we do go down.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Do you know what that is?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- No.- No, what's that?
0:18:10 > 0:18:13So, the key thing is condition with these.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It's known as a little tea bowl and it's actually for drinking tea.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So it's a cup, essentially,
0:18:19 > 0:18:23made after the Chinese model, of course,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27if you think of the Chinese drinking tea from a bowl.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30But this is actually English porcelain.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And I know that because of the feel of it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35It's what's known as a soft paste porcelain,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37which is what we English produce,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40or it's what we produced in the 18th century,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43because this is how old this is.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- Wow!- Really?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48OK, so this could be sort of 1780, 1790 in date.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51It's by a factory called Worcester
0:18:51 > 0:18:54and I know that because that little, what's known as a crescent mark,
0:18:54 > 0:18:55on the bottom there,
0:18:55 > 0:19:00a little blue crescent mark was one of their symbols that they used
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and this is blue painted floral decoration,
0:19:03 > 0:19:05typical of their designs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- OK.- What do you think we should be paying for it?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Well, at auction, I can see that making anything from sort of
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- £15-£20 up to sort of £40, really. - OK.- £40, 50.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16See what we can get.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- See what we can get?- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Here comes Jill, right on cue.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Hiya, Jill. What's the best price you can do on this?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I would say 30.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I can go and ask the seller, who is here.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- OK.- And see if they can do better than I can do.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- That will be lovely.- Thanks, Jill. Great.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- What do you think, guys? - I like that.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36There's a nice bit of age on it.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Yeah.- You are cheeky, I have to say.- Well, it's worth a try.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- You don't ask, you don't get. - Definitely.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Exactly, Michael.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Meanwhile, the Blues have headed up the road.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47No time to lose.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Oh, here she comes. What's the verdict, Jill?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Well, it's got to be 28.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54What do you think at 28?
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Is there still a profit in that?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57I think, if I was buying it for myself,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I would probably say straightaway, but we're not,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01we're buying it for auction.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Yes.- I think, why don't we keep it up our sleeve
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and have a little look around?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Right. OK.- Thanks, Jill. Is that all right?- Yes.- Thank you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Oh, well, you win some, you lose some.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Now, 20 minutes to go, the Reds have one item and the Blues have two.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Oh, look, Steve! A toy boat.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I mean, sorry, a model boat, of course.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Oh! I like that.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Is that for you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Look, I said I'd let him free, but cor blimey, come on.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Trent River police.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- How much is it?- £195.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Hmm, a tad on the pricey side.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Moving on.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38Yes, they are.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Opera glasses are collectable, actually.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43These ones are mother-of-pearl.
0:20:43 > 0:20:4645, if they're nice condition, you know, they can make, you know,
0:20:46 > 0:20:4825 to 40 again.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Those ones are particularly nice with the mother-of-pearl.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52They look quite nice.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Shall we keep it in mind?- OK. - Shall we have a wander?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57- We can always come back, can't we? - Yeah, OK.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Time to wander and ponder, Reds.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Hold on, what's Tina found?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Trains.- Where, where, where?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- Steve, look at that. - Oh, look at that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Oh, yes, see? Now I know.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Steve, I think our roles are going to be reversed with this one.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I haven't got a clue. - So, tell me about this.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I would love to.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I'm not sure if it's not a guard's torch.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Yes, that could be true.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yes, but it could also be used in the train station, couldn't it?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27It could indeed.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29But it's a little bit...
0:21:29 > 0:21:30rough.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31I'm not sure.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- No?- No. I think it's one to put back on the shelf for now.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38Not quite model trains, but we're definitely on the right track.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39- What have you spotted? - Oh, look at this.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Oh, now that's sweet, isn't it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So, what do you like about this?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45It's just...
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- It's lovely.- It's got its hallmark at the back.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Ooh, well spotted.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Yeah, you're right.
0:21:50 > 0:21:51- That's lovely. - Is the hinge all right?
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Have a little look, Amanda. - A quick...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- Is this the sort of thing you might have at home?- Yeah.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Should it have a liner?
0:21:58 > 0:21:59- Exactly. It should. - The liner is missing.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02It probably would have been silk lined, originally.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03You're absolutely right, Mike.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07That's missing, but I have to say, the silver looks in good condition.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The thing I always check with these little boxes is the hinge,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13because that's the vulnerable bit, normally.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14It's definitely got some age.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18It's typically in the Edwardian style, if you like...
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Yeah.- ..with what's known as that reeded border,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24the bow with the little floral wreath on the top there.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- It's a very sweet little piece, isn't it?- Mmm.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28What do you think it's worth?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's up at 69 at the present.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Yeah. I would say that's the best part of certainly 50 to £70
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- at auction.- OK. Shall we ask for a cheeky...? Another cheeky...?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- We've been cheeky once.- Yeah, we might as well do it again. Yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43We've taken a bit of a shine to your lovely trinket box.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Yeah.- What could you do for us?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Let's see.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50What would be your offer?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Would you take 35?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Oh...
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I will tell you what, for you guys, £40.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I think we'll take that.- If that doesn't make 40 at auction,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- there's something badly wrong. - There's something wrong.- Exactly.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04I hope you will make more.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Yes.- Are you happy?
0:23:06 > 0:23:07- Yeah.- Fantastic. Thank you so much.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Thank you very much. - That's really helpful.- Thank you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Deal done. Two items apiece, teams.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15We've got a little bit of time left for number three. Come on!
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Chop chop, less than ten minutes left.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Oh, it's another bit of railwayana for the Blues.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's got damage there, Gary, on the...
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- That's the least of your worries. - What's the price on that one?
0:23:25 > 0:23:26£50.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It certainly has a lot more character than
0:23:29 > 0:23:31the other one, doesn't it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- It's got the badge.- Oh, it's got all those markings...- Yeah, yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Yeah, see, that's original, isn't it?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Yeah.- You can tell that's original. - Absolutely.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43The Premier Lamp And Engineering Company from Leeds.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47Registration mark with the instructions - fill to there.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50And what do you think it'll fetch in an auction?
0:23:50 > 0:23:5270, £80, myself.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Yes.- But I'm not an expert, you know what I mean?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58But it's original, everything's... You know what I mean?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Yes.- Yes, it's been repainted, hasn't it? At some time.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03It's been repainted, cos you can see it has.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06And these are usually brass.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09But the only thing that puts me off a little bit, Gary,...
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I know you say it can be replaced, but I'm thinking,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14the people in the auction, are they going to...
0:24:14 > 0:24:17The real collectors will just ignore that.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And the thing going for it is it's got...
0:24:20 > 0:24:21that.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23LNER.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24Which, if I'm not mistaken,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27stands for the London and North Eastern Railway.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- And the manufacturer's stamps and everything.- Yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The registration marks.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yes, I quite like this one. I'll see what I can do.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Good luck, Steve. Five minutes left.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Reds, time to make a decision.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- BOTH:- I like the Worcester bowl.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Yeah, me too. I like the Worcester bowl.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43You wouldn't budge on price, though, so it is...
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- We know it's going to be 29.- That's going to be all of the money.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- If we could get it, do another off 25?- Well, it's worth an ask.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50- It's worth an ask.- I guess so.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51- Come on, then.- Let's go and ask.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Leg it, Reds.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Steve, what's the verdict?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Oops.- How do you do?- So?
0:24:55 > 0:24:58He wanted £50 for it...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- And?- I tried my best. What do you think?- And?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Come on.- 40?
0:25:02 > 0:25:0445?
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- £30.- No?- Yes!- Really?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Yeah. Bargain of the day.- Gosh.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Oh, my goodness.- Bargain of the day.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I don't know, mine was a good bargain.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17With minutes to spare, that's all your three items bought up, Blues.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- It's still here.- What do we think?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- It's still there.- Yeah, there it is. It is a really nice example.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22I really like that.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Yeah?- I really, really like that.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Is there any manoeuvre on that little tea bowl?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29No, I'm sorry, it has to be 28.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31So 28 is the death?
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- It is, yes, yes.- OK.- Yes, it's out of his own private collection and...
0:25:35 > 0:25:36- Mm-hm.- Yes.- OK.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- 28?- I think we go with it.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Shall we do it?- Yes, I think we'll go with the tea bowl.- Let's do it!
0:25:41 > 0:25:43- Well done.- Great.- Yeah.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Believe it or not, your time's up, teams.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47I'm absolutely exhausted.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Talk about to the wire!- I know!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55First up, the team bought the Royal Winton cake stand.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57They paid £10.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Next, it was the small trinket box, which cost them £40.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And finally, it was the small blue and white tea bowl,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09which set them back £28.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Well, that was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Excellent, brilliant.- Down to five minutes. Nearly the whole hour!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17A little bit stressful!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20But, Amanda, you loved that cake stand.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I did. I wanted to take it home.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24So are you thinking that's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- We know it's your favourite.- Yes, I do think probably
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- the biggest profit, yeah. - OK. Fantastic.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32But after all that, you still only spent £78.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Yes.- So, Mike, you've got 222, believe it or not, Kate.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Mm-hm.- She believes it, she believes it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39- Straight over to you.- Lovely.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And what on earth are you going to do with all that dosh?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Well, there was one thing mentioned, just before we started
0:26:44 > 0:26:47the shopping, that you were both looking out for,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49which we didn't actually find.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So I'm on a bit of a mission.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55OK. So, while Kate goes and hunts for that one special item,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02Their first purchase was a silver topped glass jar.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Price paid, £20.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Next, their Art Deco perfume bottle cost them £10.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13And finally, it was the railwayman's oil lamp, which cost them £30.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Well, if that wasn't the most lovely, easy-going shop,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18then I don't know what was.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22I mean, Tina, you got an item that you loved. Steve, you got a train.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25How good is that? Well, not quite, a lamp, but train related.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28But do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30- because it was your most expensive?- I hope so. I know.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31It was a lot, wasn't it?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33All of £30.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36Now, you only spent £60.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I can't believe it. Last of the big spenders.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Which means £240 left.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Tina, you've got it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- I have.- And, Gary, I'm almost struggling to hand it over to you,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- it's so heavy. - This is heavy, isn't it?- I know!
0:27:48 > 0:27:50240, how are you going to cope?
0:27:50 > 0:27:51Do you have anything in mind?
0:27:51 > 0:27:57I think I'll continue on with the cheap theme, but quality.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Ah, cheap, but not common?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- Exactly.- Fantastic.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Well, good luck with that, Gary.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05It's time to head to the auction.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Well, here we are. We've hopped south a wee bit,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18we've gone from Newark to Nottingham and here I am in Mellors & Kirk
0:28:18 > 0:28:19with the lovely Nigel Kirk.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Nigel, thank you for welcoming us here today.- You're welcome.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Let's start with Michael and Amanda, with the cake stand.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28It's very typical of its period.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31It's really very 1930s, isn't it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:36In chintz, one of many patterns produced by Grimwades Royal Winton,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39with a very fetching T-shaped chromium plated handle.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Note it's chromium plated, not silver-plated.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44And I would hope it would sell fairly well.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48I would have thought sort of 25, 35, perhaps a little more.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Well, that's pretty positive because Michael and Amanda only paid £10
0:28:50 > 0:28:53for it. Fingers crossed it will be all cake at the auction.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Yes.- Now, how do you feel about this trinket box?
0:28:56 > 0:29:00- Is it more your speed?- It's always popular, small pieces of silver,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02the smaller the size, the more saleable they are.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05And a lot of people collect late Victorian,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08early 20th century, pretty, small items of silver,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10especially novelty pieces.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12It's got its hallmarks, really clear.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15It has. Birmingham, 1907 and in super condition.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17OK, well, at what price?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It'll be interesting, that.
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- 40, £60?- Fantastic.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Well, Mike and Amanda paid £40 for it,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25so they'll be chuffed when they hear your estimate.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- Good.- So we're onto their last item already.
0:29:28 > 0:29:29- Yes.- A little bit of Worcester.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Ceramics. 18th century.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33- Absolutely.- How are they faring?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Made at a time when tea was so expensive,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37it was consumed in small bowls,
0:29:37 > 0:29:40before we had the clever idea of adding a handle to make it
0:29:40 > 0:29:45easier to drink. And it's transfer printed, not hand-painted,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47with a pattern that has been
0:29:47 > 0:29:51imaginatively called the three flowers pattern.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I'm glad someone came up with such an exciting name, Nigel.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now tell me, have you got an exciting estimate placed against it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:5930 to £50.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01They did well to buy it at £28.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04They will be delighted to hear 30 to 50 is your estimate.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Good.- It looks as though Nigel's pretty confident
0:30:06 > 0:30:12about the Reds' buys, but what has Kate bought as a bonus for the Reds?
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Well, Michael, Amanda, £222 is what you left Kate.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Are you terrified with the prospect?
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Yes.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Kate, reveal.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I've found you a piece of glass.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Nice.- And, actually, it looks very dark in colour there,
0:30:27 > 0:30:29but if I hold it up,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32and we see a bit of light going through it,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34can you see it's that gorgeous green colour?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Really nice bottle green, deep bottle green.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41So this is a very solid and dense heavy - feel the weight of that -
0:30:41 > 0:30:45piece of Scandinavian glass.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- How much did you pay?- I paid £11.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Really?- Really? - You're really smiling now.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Happy with that?- Yeah, really happy, really happy.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Well, you don't make your minds up now.- OK.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Wait until the auction.- All right. - And let's head back to
0:30:59 > 0:31:03our auctioneer to find out what Nigel thinks of Kate's green glass.
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Well, Nigel, surely this is a rare piece of green glass.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12How many of those do you reckon are kicking around Nottingham just now?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13I hope no more than that.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- So, it is rare.- It's rare.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18But who's going to buy it?
0:31:18 > 0:31:22I don't know. I think it's a pretty abstract design.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It's absolutely abstract.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26It's very heavy, very dense, green glass.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29But when it was made, I don't know, I guess,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33maybe the 1970s or '80s even, what we're going to get for it,
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I defy anyone to predict.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40But if it's 10 or £15, I think the hammer comes down fast, don't you?
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- OK.- Well, hopefully we'll have some bidding.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Kate paid £11 for this.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- That's not bad.- So she's not too worried about it.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Bearing that in mind, it's time now to head over to the Blues,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Steve and Tina. We are starting off with another bit
0:31:53 > 0:31:55of Birmingham silver.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It's the jar here with the silver lid. What do you think?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59That's, I think,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01possibly part originally of a dressing table set
0:32:01 > 0:32:04and it's rather nice because it's faceted.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09I quite like the concave dished top, plain silver,
0:32:09 > 0:32:13fortunately no engraved initials or inscriptions on it.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Perhaps 40, £60?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Fantastic. Well, guess what the team paid.
0:32:17 > 0:32:1920. Only half of the lower end of your estimate.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- Cheap.- Fingers crossed for them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Now, we move onto another bit of glass,
0:32:23 > 0:32:25this time to the Art Deco period.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29I think this is really great. It's a commercial made,
0:32:29 > 0:32:32quite inexpensively made, glass scent bottle,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34but look at the design. It's a skyscraper.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- I love it. - It's the era of Al Capone, isn't it?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It's 1920s, early '30s.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42It's a triumph of the advertiser's art
0:32:42 > 0:32:45of the skill of packaging and design.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47How much do you think it's going to make that your auction?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Well, I've sort of estimated it at 30-50.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Well, it was cracking good value in the shop at £10 only.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Where is the shop?- I know!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Let's all go again.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02Then the last item from Steve and Tina is totally different.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04We go from elegant glass to brass,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07with our railwayman's oil lamp.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08It's a practical object, isn't it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:12It's made of brass and ferrous metal, painted black,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14and galvanised metal.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Fortunately, it's emblazoned with the LNER device,
0:33:17 > 0:33:21so that immediately opens it up to people that collect memorabilia.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23OK. What do you think it's going to make?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25I would have thought £40-£60,
0:33:25 > 0:33:26that sort of money.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30Fantastic, great. Well, Steve and Tina only paid £30 for it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Very reasonable.- Once again,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35it looks as though you've got faith in these items.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38So it's time to find out, will the Blues need their bonus buy?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Let's see what Gary bought.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Well, Tina, Steve, you left Gary £240.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- That's right.- Couldn't even hold it in his hand, it was so heavy.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50And now it looks like he's bought something pretty heavy.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53So, Gary, what on earth did you spend all that money on?
0:33:53 > 0:33:54Wow!
0:33:54 > 0:33:57An Arts and Crafts brass tray.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00English, around 1900.
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Now, the artistic movement that created this piece was basically
0:34:04 > 0:34:08a revolt against the ostentation of
0:34:08 > 0:34:10the Victorian and methods of mass production.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14In other words, handmade is better than machine-made.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- So it is handmade?- Yeah.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18And show the construction.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20What did you pay for it?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Well, I paid £45.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30There is a deathly silence.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Well, it sounds as though, Gary,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34you've got your work cut out to convince these two.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36You've convinced me.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38But now it's time to find out if our auctioneer, Nigel,
0:34:38 > 0:34:42is convinced that Gary's tray will serve up a profit.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Well, believe it or not, Nigel,
0:34:43 > 0:34:48this brass tray is nowhere near as heavy as that glass bowl,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50but what do you think of it?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Well, I liked it rather more when I first saw it than on close inspection.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Because it's a piece of Arts and Crafts repousse brassware.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00And with such objects,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03you always hope to find a distinguished maker's mark.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07But a great deal of it was made at home by amateur craftspeople who had
0:35:07 > 0:35:10often seen designs in the Studio Magazine, for example.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Now, sadly this piece is one of those.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It doesn't have any names on it and to make matters worse,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19somebody's put a hole in it to hang it on the wall.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23So I think we have to hope the bidders don't see the hole and they
0:35:23 > 0:35:26might perhaps then pay £30 or £40 for it.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Gary paid £45 for the repousse tray.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35And I think I've got faith in it at £45. I think it's a really decorative thing.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Do you know what? I might even hang it on my wall if I bought it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Anyway, Nigel, do you think it's going to be a busy sale today?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Yes. I'm sure it is.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49And it'll all come out in the wash.

0:41:06 > 0:41:08Ooh!
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Ooh!

0:41:35 > 0:41:38- and I think you're itching to get a hold of these gavels.- Yes.

0:41:39 > 0:41:43I'm going to give you your princely profit, it was £36.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46But much more importantly than that, here they are.
