Today's fair is in Cornwall and for centuries, | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
a fierce battle has raged in this part of the world. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
It's all about who invented the cream tea. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:14 | |
Was it Devon or was it Cornwall? | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
Should they be using a scone, | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
or should they be using a Cornish split? | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
Should they put the jam on top of the cream | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
or should they put the cream on top of the jam? | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
I need to investigate this a little bit further. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
Oh, thank you. Meanwhile, let today's battle commence. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Let's go bargain hunting. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Well, after eating 24 scones and before I explode, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
I'm going to say both ways taste delicious. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
Today's antiques fair is at the Royal Cornwall Showground | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
near Wadebridge. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:10 | |
And what's more, there are plenty of stalls to choose from. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
Our teams have £300 and one hour to scour the fair for bargains, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
but can they make a profit at auction? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Let's see what's coming up. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
Love is in the air for the Reds. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
What are you looking for today? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
-A proposal of marriage. -Oh, indeed! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
The Blues use their charm. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
We were thinking more about 30. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
Oh, the ladies always like to strike a bargain. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
And at the auction, there's plenty of excitement. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Oh, straight in. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
Well, that's all for later, so let's meet today's teams | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
and it's something of a family affair, | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
because for the Reds we've got brothers Kelvin and Trevor | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
and for the Blues, mother and daughter Freya and Bethany. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-So, hello. -Hello. -Hello. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
Starting with you, Kelvin. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:09 | |
You're the younger brother in this situation. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
But you're good mates, you two. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
Yeah, yeah. He's looked after me, brought me up, really. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
You know, we've been pretty much close together. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
We now live round the corner from each other. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Now, Kelvin, I know you to be a real romantic | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
and I know you did something | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |
very special for your wife. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Yes, on our 25th wedding anniversary, | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
I took Heather over to Canada for a holiday and whilst in Niagara, | 0:02:30 | 0:02:35 | |
I had a little surprise for her. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
We had a nice long white limousine pick us up at the hotel, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
her jaw nearly hit the floor when she saw that, | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
and then it dropped us off at a nice little white chapel, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
er... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
and I asked her if she would like to renew our wedding vows and it was a | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
really good 25th wedding anniversary. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
I'm thinking of all those brownie points. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
Lots of them. Massive. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
But, Trevor, you've spent most of your life, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
a career in the Royal Navy, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
travelling the world as a chef. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
Yes, that's true. I did 32 years in the Royal Navy, man and boy. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
My main claim to fame was that I was asked to do the Royal wedding cake | 0:03:11 | 0:03:15 | |
for Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
So, what did this cake look like and what went into it? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
It was a rich fruitcake. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
It was six foot tall and it was six tiers. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
At the end of it, I managed to go to the Palace with the cake and it | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
looked really magnificent. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
I did have the opportunity to wander around the palace and look at some | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
-real antiques. -Did you? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
All that glitters is definitely gold. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
So, what about tactics, gentlemen? | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
Well, first thing is, we're going to enjoy ourselves, we're going to win, | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
but it's up to bro what we do when we're out there. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Well, I feel we should spend wisely, but then again it's not our money. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
We're definitely in it to win it, so we will leave a little | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
for our expert so they can prove their worth. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
Well, good luck, Reds, but over to the Blue team. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Freya, I believe you've got an almost telepathic relationship with | 0:04:07 | 0:04:12 | |
-Bethany, your daughter. -Yes, we do. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
We often end up ending each other's sentences and laughing a lot at | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
exactly the same thing, so yeah, | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
we get on very well and do a lot of things together. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-And you're a hairdresser. -I am, yes. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-How long have you been doing that? -I have been hairdressing ever since | 0:04:25 | 0:04:28 | |
I left school, which is a bit too long than I care to mention, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
but really enjoy my job. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
I hear you actually got to meet Prince Charles and Camilla. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
Yes, I did. I was very fortunate to live overseas | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
in Riyadh for some time | 0:04:40 | 0:04:41 | |
and whilst we were over there in a military compound, | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
they came to visit and they spent several hours with us | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
and we got to chat to them. Very nice they were too. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
And Bethany was a lot younger in those days | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
and she managed to hand over | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
a nice bouquet of flowers to Camilla. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
So, that was nice. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:58 | |
Did you have to practise your curtsy? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-I think I did. -Can you still remember it? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
No. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
But, Bethany, you've just done your A-levels. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
-Just got my results. -And all OK? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
-Yeah. -So, what's your plans now? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
I'm hoping to find an apprenticeship | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
for something to do with hospitality, | 0:05:15 | 0:05:17 | |
because that's where I work at the moment, I work in a bar, | 0:05:17 | 0:05:19 | |
so meeting new people and interacting with people, | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
I get along really well with everyone. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
So, what you're telling me is you got your mum's gift of the gab. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Yes. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
What about tactics today, ladies? | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
Well, we plan to go out and have a good root around | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
-and see what we can find. -Yeah. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
We don't plan on spending much money, do we? | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-Make a bigger profit. -Buy small, sell big. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:42 | |
We're here to win. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
I like that. Feisty, feisty women. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
Yeah, excellent. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
Well, before you can win it, you've got to buy it, haven't you? | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
So, I'm going to give you £300. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
-Thank you. -I'm going to give the Reds £300. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-Thank you very much. -So, off you go and meet your experts. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
And I think we're in for a right royal competition. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
We've lined up a couple of very talented experts for our teams. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
Digging for victory with the Reds, it's the lovely Caroline Hawley. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
And let's hope he can keep his team on track for the Blues, | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
it's Ben Cooper. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:20 | |
So, Kelvin, Trevor, what are you looking for today? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
-A proposal of marriage. -Oh, indeed. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
We're looking to get a little bit of silver, I think. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Something small. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
-A bit of glass. -Yeah. -Amber even, some jewellery. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
Maybe china, jewellery or something. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
-Whatever catches my eye, really. -Okey dokey. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
I spy with my little eye potential profits. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
Teams, your 60 minutes start now. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Shall we go off and find something? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-We'll go and find something. -Excellent. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
Let's start off and see what we can find. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Come on, guys. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Sounds like our teams are after similar things, | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
so hopefully they won't be fighting over the same objects. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Let the battle commence. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
Start using your eyes, | 0:07:02 | 0:07:03 | |
see what's grabbing you and then that'll start the ball rolling. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
What about here? Hunt for your bargain. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
There's so much to choose from here | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
and it looks like something has caught the eye of the Reds. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
-Now that... -That's a big old pot, isn't it? | 0:07:15 | 0:07:17 | |
-Which one? -That one there. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
You know, I love blue and white. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:21 | |
That's mid-19th century, transfer-printed. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:25 | |
-But... -But what? -Transferred, is that good, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
or is hand-painted better? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:28 | |
Yeah, it's great, but what isn't good, | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
it's got a massive great chip out of it. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
If I can say now, I think we need to steer clear of damage. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Caroline knows what she's talking about. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Damage will affect the price, so move on, Reds. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
The Blues have found their own piece of china with a very familiar name. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
That looks like a piece of Moorcroft. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:49 | |
Would you like to have a look at it? | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
Have you ever heard of the factory, Moorcroft? | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
-I've heard of it. -You've heard of it. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
Moorcroft is one of those names | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
which now is very highly collectable. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
It is a nice thing. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:00 | |
The thing you're looking for with any ceramics, | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
if there's any restoration or if there's any damage. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
-Yep. -And so, I'm just going to move it round. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Where it tends to be is on the rim, but at the moment, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
this is all looking very good. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
So, how much do you think that would make at auction? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
I think that within an auction estimate it would be | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
quite a wide estimate, probably 50 to 80-ish. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Do one of you want to ask the gentleman what he's willing | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
-to do for the bottom price for you? -Yeah. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
-Shall we? -Go on, then. Do you want to do it? -Me? | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
No. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:32 | |
-Right. -Go on, Beth. -I drop glasses at work all the time. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
The gentleman's at the end there. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
If you'd like to come down and have a word with him. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
-Hello. -What would be the best you could do on this for us? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
70. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
12 off. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Could you not come down a little bit lower? | 0:08:50 | 0:08:52 | |
-What've you got in mind? -Maybe about 60? | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
No. No. Couldn't do 60. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
What's your best deal on that one? | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-68. -I think, girls, that's a good deal the gentleman's offered. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
A bit over 10%, which is great, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
and I think there's a real chance at auction, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
so I think you'd better shake the man's hand. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
Well, these girls aren't messing around. | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Just a few minutes in and they have item number one. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
That's what I like to see. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
But what have the Reds found? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
Oh, and is that a cigarette dispenser? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:28 | |
-It is. -Now, that is very kitsch. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Meaning sort of... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
It's 1950s, I would say. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
-Don't you think cigarette items...? -Anything in it now. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:40 | |
Yeah, you could put anything in it, couldn't you? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
You could put... Well, I'm not sure what you could put in it. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |
Exactly. Exactly. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
It would wind round, you'd set it going, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
and it would play music and spin at the same time as presenting you with | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
-your cigarettes. -How much? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-75. -You want to go on for a little while, maybe come back to this one? | 0:09:57 | 0:10:02 | |
Yeah, you can run back later on. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
I'd have a think about that one because... | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
Have you seen such a thing before? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
No, no. Not a cigarette dispenser. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
It's certainly a striking object, | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
but smoking-related items don't always do well at auction today. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
So they are right to keep looking. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Meanwhile, the girls want a silver, | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
but Ben has some advice to help their search. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
With silver, there are various things | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
which are always useful to look for, say, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
a good hallmark - and if you're going into auction, | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
people would buy certain hallmarks, certain types of things. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
You get collectors for pepperettes, | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
you get collectors for all different aspects within silver. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
One thing in silver, it has an intrinsic value, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:43 | |
so often there's not as much of a margin as you might like | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
to hope for, because it's much tighter world for the dealers. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
Bare that in mind when you're looking. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Sound advice, Ben. | 0:10:52 | 0:10:53 | |
While they keep looking, what are the Reds on to? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Telephone is quite nice, isn't it? | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-Yeah, well. -It's more modern, of course. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
But this modern stuff, it's only from the '60s, '70s and later, | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
but people are starting to collect all this. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:10 | |
Now, see, that's a bit of Poole. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-What do you think of that? -I think a child of nine might have painted it. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-Right, so you don't like it then? -No, I don't like it. -Right, OK. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
A child of nine? That's classic Poole pottery, Trevor. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
But, it's not to his taste, so time to move on. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
The girls wanted silver, | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
but can Ben tempt them with locally crafted copper? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
Being Cornish, if they do have it, it's probably way out of our budget, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
this wonderful Newlyn copper. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
-Would you like us to...? -No. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
If it's not doing anything to you. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:43 | |
It's about you, I'm just coming up with ideas. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
I'm not feeling copper at all. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-You're not feeling copper. -No. -No. -No. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
I love Newlyn copper, but the girls aren't feeling it, | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
so that's a no. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:55 | |
But, time is ticking, teams. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
The Reds have bought precisely nothing and the Blues have one item. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
Time for team tactics. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
Right, now, we've used about 20 minutes in our mooching. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
I think it's brightening up outside. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:09 | |
Why don't we go back to the silver | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
and maybe we can have a look outside | 0:12:11 | 0:12:13 | |
and see what we can get out there. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:15 | |
-Yes. -Yeah. -Come on, then. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
And Caroline has her own way of motivating a team. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:20 | |
Hey, Trevor, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
make it snappy. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
-Oh, yeah. -Do you like that? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Yeah. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
Trevor isn't impressed, | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
but it looks like the Blues got their skates on | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
and have found a silver scent bottle. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Now, that's nice. I do like that. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:36 | |
-Do you want to have little look? -Yes, please. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:39 | |
So how do we know it's silver? | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
Right, in the case of this, there is no English hallmark, | 0:12:43 | 0:12:46 | |
what we've got on the link, just on the side here, 925. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:52 | |
That will have been stamped on. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
It has been proven to be of sterling quality of silver. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-Yeah. -It does suggest it would be Continental. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-Right. -Because it's just a 925 stamp, | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
it means it really is very difficult to date, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
whereas with English silver | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
it's always got a date letter and we can date it that way. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
The gentleman's only got £38 on it. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
So, we'll see what the gentleman can do. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
So, I think since Bethany did last time, Freya. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
Oh, my goodness. Thank you. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
Go and ask the gentleman what he can do for you. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
We've got 38 on this, so what is the best you could do for us? | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
I'll try and just drop it below £30 | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
and I'll take the £10 off and do it for 28. OK? | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
I think that's great. What do you think? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-Are you happy with that? -Yes. Go for it. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-Go for it. -Do it. -I think you'd better shake the man's hand. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:37 | |
Deal done. These girls know what they like. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
With just 22 minutes on the clock they have their second item, | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
but are the Reds any closer to finding their first purchase? | 0:13:43 | 0:13:47 | |
Kelvin is a bit of a romantic, so what's he found? | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
The heart. Just wondered if we could have a look and how much it is? | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
Indeed. Yep. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:56 | |
That one is 220. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
It's nine-carat gold, is it? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
That would be the best on it. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
275 on it, 220 is the price. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-I think you might struggle to make a profit. -Yeah. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
Caroline is right. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
It's a lovely pendant, but it's a bit of a risk. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
So, the search continues. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |
While that £300 continues to burn a hole in their pockets, | 0:14:20 | 0:14:24 | |
let's leave the teams as I have an interesting local story to tell you. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
Take a look at all this beautiful 18th-century porcelain. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
Worcester, Liverpool, Bristol and Caughley. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
And what do they all have in common? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Well, Cornwall. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
And in particular, this - Cornish soapstone. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Back in the 17th century, | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
oriental porcelain from China and Japan | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
was pouring into Britain and into Europe. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
But the formula for making porcelain | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
was a very closely guarded secret. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
Chinese teapots like this were made from hard paste porcelain. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |
It was thin, it was beautifully hand decorated, but what's more, | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
it could withstand boiling water when making tea and coffee. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
British manufacturers were unable to find a product that could withstand | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
boiling water and were desperate to find a formula for making products | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
like this. They found the answer here in Cornwall. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
Soapstone such as this, found on the Lizard Peninsula, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
when mixed with other ingredients, | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
produced a porcelain that could withstand boiling water. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
The ceramic material produced was referred to as soft paste porcelain. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:47 | |
And lots of 18th-century manufacturers | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
harnessed this technology. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
These early porcelains were influenced by their Chinese rival. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:57 | |
A Worcester tea bowl there | 0:15:57 | 0:15:58 | |
with a hand-painted blue and white decoration. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
And a tea canister, this particular one with a printed design. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
But the Worcester manufacturers didn't get it all their own way | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
because in the 1770s, up the River Severn into Shropshire, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
the Caughley factory started producing similar | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
well-potted Chinese-inspired porcelains, in particular, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
a favourite of mine is the fishermen and cormorant pattern. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
The good news is that a substantial amount of 18th-century English | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
porcelains have survived and much of it | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
can be bought at really reasonable prices. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
For example, a little tea bowl like this, | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
you might expect to pay £40. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
A tea canister with its cover, | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
you're going to be paying around about £100 or maybe a tad more. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
But the rarities always command a bigger price. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:51 | |
Such as this Caughley asparagus tip server, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
hand-painted and initialled. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:58 | |
This is going to set you back the best part of £1,000. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:03 | |
It's all thanks to a little bit of Cornwall. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
Time to get back to the shopping. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
With 30 minutes gone, the Blues have stormed ahead with two items. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
Let's head up here. So, do you have any idea? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
We've got something ceramic, we've got something silver. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
No, we haven't got much in mind. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
Maybe a little bit of a wild card, something a little bit unusual. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
Meanwhile, the Reds have failed to buy anything, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
but that could be about to change. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
They spotted something quite extraordinary. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
-What's he made of? -He's made of mannequin material. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-Mannequin material! -We call them Woody. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Scrumbled, is that the expression? | 0:17:48 | 0:17:50 | |
-It is scrumbled. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
-You don't know any more about it? -Not an awful lot. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
He could be selling wooden products or from some sort of fancy shop. | 0:17:56 | 0:18:00 | |
But he was in a shop window originally. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:03 | |
There's no name of the shop on the back? | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
No. There's a stamp his bottom... | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Is there indeed? | 0:18:06 | 0:18:07 | |
..which I can show you, if you want. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
I've got an eye on mine, I can show you. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
You have what? What did you say? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
He's got a tattoo of an eye on his bottom. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-Has he? -Yes. -Has he really? | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
-Yes. -Extraordinary. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
While Caroline gets to the bottom of that, | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
let's see how the Blues are getting on. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:26 | |
They said they wanted china, so what have they found? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:30 | |
-Who is it? -Who is it? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:34 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:35 | |
The king who was never crowned. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
So, you can see ER and the eight - | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
VIII, Edward VIII. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:46 | |
A lot of people believe that these | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
are going to be worth an awful lot of money. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
I can let you know that they aren't worth a lot of money. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:52 | |
There were loads created. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
The Americans love them, or used to love buying them in bucket-loads, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:59 | |
but now they don't. So, I know you picked it up, | 0:18:59 | 0:19:03 | |
but I'm going to put it back down | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
because it's not going to set the auction alight, I can assure you. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
It's all about making a profit, | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
so Ben is taking a firm hand with the Blues. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
So, what is the news on the wood-effect mannequin? | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
I think the Reds are smitten. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
Well, I've bought some things in my time, Trevor. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
I expect that's where he's been based onto the floor. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
-Yeah. -And is he self-supporting? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-Does he... -No. -..stand up by himself? | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
No, he's got a little lean to him. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
I am trying to sort of make a living here and taking a small loss, | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
I can do him to 130. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-What do you think, Trevor? -How about 120? | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
An even bigger loss. You've got a deal, there you are. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-120. Shake the man's hand. -Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
-Thank you very much. -It's a deal. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-Excellent. -"I'm going to a new home." | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
Come on, Woody. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
Woody has won their hearts. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
With just over 30 minutes on the clock, | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
the Reds finally have their first item. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Meanwhile, the Blues are still on the hunt for item three. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
Can they find anything as unusual as Woody? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
What is this? | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
A bed pan. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:15 | |
Get one of those. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-Time is ticking, girls. -I know it is. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
Ben's not impressed with that, girls, | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
but it seems the Reds have spotted something else on the stall | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
they were on earlier. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
But what's it used for? | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
Flour or wheat. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Flour or wheat, what do you think it is? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
-Barley? -What do you mean, to put barley in? | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Yeah. No. I was... | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
-It doesn't smell of anything. -Shall I give you a clue? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
It's French and it's for baguettes. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
French baguette. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-Yes. -A baguette box. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Yes. It's a baguette box. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:52 | |
Ah! | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
Every French home would have one. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
It just needs a polish up, really. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
Yeah, that's all. Just a bit dirty. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
What's the best on this one? | 0:21:01 | 0:21:03 | |
DEALER: 25. That's all I paid for it. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-19. -No. £20. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-Have we got a deal? -A deal? | 0:21:09 | 0:21:11 | |
-OK. -Yeah. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
-Go on. OK? -CAROLINE: Yes, OK. | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:15 | |
Ooh la la. These guys have caught up in style. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
They've certainly been thinking outside the box with their buys. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:22 | |
The two things they've bought are extraordinary. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
A French baguette box. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:28 | |
And a painted male mannequin. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Dying to see what they buy for number three. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
And so are we. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
With just 20 minutes left, both teams now have one item to find. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:41 | |
The Blues wanted something unusual but will they find it? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
What about something chunky like a set of scales? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
Yeah, I quite like the look of those, don't we? | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-Yeah. I think they are quite nice. -Yeah. -Shall we have a little look? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
I mean, the condition of the tray is not brilliant. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
-Is that going to make...? -Enamelled. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
It'll knock it slightly. But the rest of it, it's all working nicely. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:03 | |
Excuse me, sir. How much are your scales? | 0:22:03 | 0:22:06 | |
-They are 40. -He's got 40 on those. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:08 | |
Will it make 40? | 0:22:08 | 0:22:10 | |
Well, I think we might need to do a bit of a negotiation | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
and see if we can get them down a bit. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Are you able to come down a little bit on the price | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
-of the scales? -Well, I could do, considering you've noticed | 0:22:17 | 0:22:22 | |
the enamel is not in the best condition, so 35, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
-if it will help you. -We were thinking more about 30. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
The ladies always like to strike a bargain. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:33 | |
Yeah, I'll do them for 30 for you. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:35 | |
I think the scales are more rustic than unusual, | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
so with just 43 minutes on the clock, | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
the Blues have all three items. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:41 | |
Group hug. Group hug. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
Group hug. Right, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
I think that the Reds are still going to be sweating | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
somewhere inside the hall. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:49 | |
I think it's time for us to go and find some lunch. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
Lovely. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
While the Blues go off to relax, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:55 | |
the Reds still have an item to find | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
and they did have jewellery on their wish list. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
And these are cultured pearls...? | 0:23:00 | 0:23:02 | |
-I think so. -Yeah, on top. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
And nine-carat gold. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
Now, that's a nice little ring. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:10 | |
How much is that one? | 0:23:10 | 0:23:12 | |
DEALER: £40. £40. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
£40? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:15 | |
I think it would need to be a little bit better for us to sell it again. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
I could do you 35. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
35, what do you think, Trevor? | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
How long have we got? | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
Just over ten minutes. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:27 | |
-So a quick look in there. -A quick look in there and then back. -OK. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:30 | |
'The ring is on the back burner, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
'as they have a final scout around | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
'and it looks like Trevor has his eye on some china.' | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
What have you found, Trevor? | 0:23:40 | 0:23:41 | |
Some Mason ware? | 0:23:41 | 0:23:42 | |
Yeah. Do you like Mason's? | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
I like the nice emblems. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:47 | |
Yes. I do, too. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
I think that's very attractive, don't you? | 0:23:49 | 0:23:51 | |
It's not bad. I'm not a green person, but... | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
the gold sort of makes it stand out a bit. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
How much is it, Trevor? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
So, it's 65 for that. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
Would they come as a set? | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
I think they are priced each, are they? | 0:24:08 | 0:24:10 | |
-Yeah. -I'm not sure. Are they 65 each? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:13 | |
-Yeah, at the moment. -Do you want to ask the lady? | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Are they priced separately? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
I could do a very good deal on them for you. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:21 | |
-Which would be...? -I could do the three for the 65. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:26 | |
Oh! Just a one-off. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:28 | |
-That's three for 65. -Three for 65. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Instead of one for 65. | 0:24:30 | 0:24:33 | |
Beautiful glaze on those. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:34 | |
-Yeah. -And the colours are phenomenal. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:38 | |
And they pass the Trevor test. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
They pass the Trevor test. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:41 | |
And you get lots of nuts in them! | 0:24:41 | 0:24:42 | |
-Yeah. -Yeah, you'd get lots of nuts in them! | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
-So, what do you think? -Yes. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
-Yes? -Everybody happy? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
-Trevor? -It's a deal. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Thank you. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
'Trevor does the deal. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:56 | |
'So that's item three in the bag with minutes to spare. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
'They've done it.' | 0:24:59 | 0:25:00 | |
HORN HONKS | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Teams, your 60 minutes are up. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Time to stop shopping. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:06 | |
You've done very well. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:07 | |
Now, shall we go off and...? | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
-Thank you. -..have a sit down? | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
-Have a sit down. -Excellent. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:12 | |
Come on, guys. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:13 | |
Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
He's tall, he's handsome, and his name is Woody. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
The unusual shop mannequin was £120. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
Cornwall is better known for pasties but they managed to find this | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
baguette box for £20. | 0:25:29 | 0:25:32 | |
And Trevor just had to have this set of three Mason ironstone dishes. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:36 | |
They were £65. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:39 | |
You didn't really stick to your wish list, did you? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:42 | |
I mean, you went well off-piste, you really did. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
Yeah, it was a bit odd, that one, yeah. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
-There you go. -Let me ask you, Kelvin, | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
what is your favourite buy today? | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
That would be the French breadstick box. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:55 | |
-Right. -That is my favourite. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:56 | |
That is your favourite. And what do you think is going to give you the | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
-biggest profit? -That. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
-Yeah. -You do? -Yeah. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:01 | |
OK. So, Trevor, what was your favourite buy? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
The Mason ware we got at the end. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
OK. And what about the buy that you think is going to give you | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
-the biggest profit? -Well, looking at it, | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
I think that will give us the biggest profit. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
So, remind me how much you spent. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
£205. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:18 | |
£205. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
So, you are going to give me £95. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:21 | |
£95. OK. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:22 | |
-With pleasure. -All right, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:23 | |
that's the leftover lolly that goes towards the bonus buy. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
I'm going to give it to Caroline. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
-Thank you. -So, Caroline, have you got your eye on something? | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Well, I think I'm going to go hunting for something | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
-that was on your wish list. -Right. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
Well, whilst Caroline does go | 0:26:36 | 0:26:37 | |
hunting for something on the wish list, | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:42 | |
It's a Bargain Hunt regular, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
the girls snapped up the Moorcroft vase for £68. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
This silver pendant scent bottle captured their hearts. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
It was £28. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
And they went for some rustic kitchenalia. | 0:26:56 | 0:26:58 | |
The scales tipped in at £30. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
So, Freya and Bethany, I mean, cool and calm shoppers, or what? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:08 | |
I want to know what your favourite buy was, Freya. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
My favourite buy was the little silver scent bottle that we got. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
That was by far and away my favourite piece. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |
Which do you think is going to give you the biggest profit? | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
Definitely the little silver item. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
-I think, yeah. -Do you? | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
Yeah. We got it for quite a good price. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
OK. What about you, Bethany? What's your favourite item? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
I like the little blue vase that we bought. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:28 | |
-The first one. -Oh, do you? | 0:27:28 | 0:27:29 | |
-Yeah. -But what about profit? Where is that going to come from? | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
-The vase. -You think the vase. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:34 | |
-Yeah, I think it will. -OK. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:35 | |
Well, fair enough. So, remind me how much you spent. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
We spent a total of £126. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
-Well, you are going to give me £174. -I am. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
OK. Thank you very much. Over to Ben. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
Ben, that's quite a sizeable amount | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
to go for the bonus buy, don't you think? | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
Well, I'm quite pleased with that and I've got to admit | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
at the moment, I'm lacking in inspiration but fingers crossed, | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
something will jump out at me. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:01 | |
OK. Well, while Ben goes off to seek inspiration, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:04 | |
we are going off to the auction. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
We are in Plymouth - where, at Eldreds auction house, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
I'm joined by Anthony Eldred. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
-Good to be here. -Welcome to you. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:23 | |
We are going to start off with our Red team, | 0:28:23 | 0:28:25 | |
which is Kelvin and Trevor, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
and the first item is a fine specimen of a man. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
I love it. I think it's a great piece of decoration. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
All right, it's a plastic mannequin, but look what they've done to it. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
They've made it really interesting. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:39 | |
And I'm sure that somebody is going to love it. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
It's practical too. You may not think that but it is. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
His arms move. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:45 | |
-Yes. -Put his arms out straight, hang your clothes on it. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-Yeah. -All sorts of possibilities. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:49 | |
Oh, right. So, what's your estimate? | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
My estimate, 60-80. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
60-80, well, | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
I think they were a little bit gung-ho, maybe, when they went out | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
and paid £120 for it. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
120, well, it may not be as gung-ho as you think. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:05 | |
We'll watch this space either way. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:06 | |
So, item number two is the French baguette bin. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:11 | |
Now, I have to admit, I have never seen one of these before in my life. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:16 | |
But I can see the sense of it. I really can see the sense of it. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
They do sell. We sell them. We have sold two this year. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:23 | |
-Have you now? -Yeah, because all right, it's for baguettes, | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
which we are not going to use it for now, are we? | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
But you can put sticks in it, umbrellas, | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
there's all sorts of things you can do with it. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
-Estimate? -30-50 for that one. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
Right. They actually paid £20 for it. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:36 | |
I think they've had a good buy. | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
I think they have as well. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:39 | |
And then item number three, | 0:29:39 | 0:29:41 | |
we've got three pieces of Mason's patent ironstone china. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
But it is 20th-century. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
It is and 20th-century ceramics, | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
they have to have something about them | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
to make people want to buy them. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
It's in lovely condition, | 0:29:54 | 0:29:56 | |
but I just don't see what you are going to use them for. | 0:29:56 | 0:29:59 | |
So, your estimate...? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
We put 20-30 on those. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
Right. OK. Well, they paid 65. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:06 | |
I think they may struggle a little bit on that one, yeah. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:08 | |
So, it's obviously a bit of a mixed bag, | 0:30:08 | 0:30:11 | |
so it looks as though they may need their bonus buy. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
So let's have a look at it. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:15 | |
Well, you left Caroline £95, so, Caroline, | 0:30:17 | 0:30:21 | |
tell me what you went and spent it on. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Well, a nice little bit of silver. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
We was after some silver. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
-You were. -We was after a lot of things which we didn't get. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
You were. But you searched and searched for silver, didn't you? | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
We did. Yes, we never saw something we liked. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Well, it's a pin tray. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
And in the middle here is a copper coin from 1797, | 0:30:39 | 0:30:45 | |
it's a two-penny coin and it's mounted in a Sampson Mordan | 0:30:45 | 0:30:50 | |
silver surround from 1910. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
Great condition. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:55 | |
It's a lovely little thing. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
And what did you pay, Caroline? | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
What do you think I paid? | 0:30:59 | 0:31:01 | |
I'd say about £35. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:04 | |
Is he a clairvoyant?! | 0:31:04 | 0:31:06 | |
Exactly £35. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-Pardon? -Yes, I paid exactly £35. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:11 | |
-Wow! -What would you think it would make at auction? | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
I think it should make between 50 and £60. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
-Well, it is an antique, then? -It is an antique. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
Yeah. Nearly as old as you, bro. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:22 | |
Which makes a change from the rest of the stuff we bought. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:24 | |
There's nothing wrong with the rest of the stuff you bought. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
I bought him. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
Well, you sound very impressed but remember, | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
you don't have to make your mind up now. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:35 | |
You've got to wait until you've sold your first three lots. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:37 | |
So, meanwhile, | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
about Caroline's silver pin tray. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
So, this is Caroline's bonus buy. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
What do you think? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
Good company, Sampson Mordan and Co. It's a plain thing. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:53 | |
But I don't think it's going to make a lot of money. | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
-So, estimate? -£20-£30. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
20-30. Caroline paid 35. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:01 | |
So, it looks as though it might fly, that one. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:03 | |
-I think it will. -So, now to the Blue team. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
This is Bethany and Freya. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:07 | |
And starting with their little blue-glaze Moorcroft pot. | 0:32:08 | 0:32:12 | |
It's a pretty little vase. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
A little bit dark for my taste. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:16 | |
I prefer the lighter-coloured colourways. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
But there it is. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
It's perfect as far as I can see. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
OK. But at what price? | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
I think that one would make between 40 and £60. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
They paid 68 for it but I still think | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
it's going to be in with a chance. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
So, let's move on to that little silver pendant scent bottle. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
It's a pretty little scent bottle. | 0:32:34 | 0:32:35 | |
A little bit of engraving on it, which helps it. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
And I think it will make between £10 and £15. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:41 | |
Right. £28 paid, so, you know, it's not way out, is it? | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
It really isn't way out. And then, their third item, a set of scales. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:50 | |
And the scales are wonderful, and the weights. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
As you... They don't have any practical application any more. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:57 | |
Are they decorative? Well, perhaps. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
Personally, I don't think they are decorative enough. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
If the weights were brass, it would help. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
We've estimated £5-£10. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
-Ouch. They paid £30 for it. -Did they? | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
So the omens are not looking good for the Blues at the moment. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
It looks as though they may well need their bonus buy. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
So, let's take a look at it. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:19 | |
Ladies, you left Ben £174 to go out and spend, so Ben, | 0:33:21 | 0:33:26 | |
what did you spend it on? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:27 | |
Well, I had quite a bit of money and I thought, | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
I'm going to find some jewellery, something sparkly, | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
and then my eyes alighted upon... | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
-this. -Mm. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
There we go. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
It's actually on the front, you can just see, a ship, in copper. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
But on the back is the interesting part. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:50 | |
On the back there's an inscription... | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
which states that it is made from copper from the HMS Victory | 0:33:52 | 0:33:57 | |
to commemorate the centenary of Nelson's death in 1805. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:02 | |
So, from being a little uninteresting ship brooch, | 0:34:02 | 0:34:07 | |
it's actually a part of history. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
So, what do you think now? | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
I like the fact there's a history behind it. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:14 | |
I think it's nice. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:15 | |
And the big question is, how much have you spent? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
What do you think I spent on it? | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
I would say probably around £50. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:24 | |
Actually, I only paid 17. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-Oh! -There we go. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:28 | |
Smiles all round, all of a sudden. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
Liking it a bit better now. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:31 | |
And I'm hoping that it should have an estimate of £30-£40. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:39 | |
Definitely worth a punt, isn't it? | 0:34:39 | 0:34:41 | |
Now, you don't have to make your minds up now. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
You do that once you sold your first three items. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:46 | |
But meanwhile, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Ben's | 0:34:46 | 0:34:50 | |
Victory brooch. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:51 | |
I like this one. I think it's a lovely little object. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:55 | |
And anything to do with the Victory or Nelson is always popular. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:59 | |
There's a vast amount of collectors for it. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
There really are. I think it will make between £20 and £30. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:06 | |
20 and 30. Well, Ben went and paid £17. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:09 | |
That's realistic. I think he's had a good buy. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:11 | |
Yeah. OK. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
So, are you taking the auction today? | 0:35:13 | 0:35:14 | |

-Yes. -Yeah. Definitely. -You are. Yeah. Fighting talk. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:19 | |

At £22 then, I can sell it at 22... | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
Well, listen... | 0:41:44 | 0:41:45 | |
That's all right. That is a plus £5 on that lot. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:49 | |
Someone has bagged a bargain there. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
Gives a grand total... | 0:41:51 | 0:41:53 | |
A grand total of -£25. | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
-That's not so bad. -That's not too bad. | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
-Not bad. -Could be a winning score, OK? | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
But remember, not a word to the Reds. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
Well, the results are in but, sadly, | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
I'm not going to be dishing out any dosh today | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
because neither team made a profit. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:21 | |
But the runners-up today with -£62 | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
is the Red team. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
-BEN: -Yeah! | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
Commiserations. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
In your defence, your baguette bin did rather well for you. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
-Yes, I don't care. -Yes. But, despite all that, did you have fun? | 0:42:38 | 0:42:42 | |
-We did. -Well, until you mentioned the loss, we did. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
But winning isn't everything. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:48 | |
Well, it's the taking part that counts, yeah. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
I've heard that somewhere before. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:52 | |
All right. Either way, turning to our triumphant Blues, | 0:42:52 | 0:42:56 | |
who made it with a mere loss of £25. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:00 | |
-We'll take that. -Did you have fun? | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
-Yes. -We had a brilliant time, yeah. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
-A really good day. -That's all that really matters. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
