00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt from Staffordshire.
00:04One thing I love about an antiques fair is the fusion of different design movements that's always on offer.
00:10For example, look at this typically mid-century mirror and this delightfully deco letter rack.
00:19And how about this for Art Nouveau? Absolutely undeniable.
00:24Another of my favourites is the arts and crafts movement.
00:27Later, I'll be admiring an extraordinary collection of jewellery from that period.
00:32Honestly, it's not to be missed.
00:34But first, let's go bargain hunting!
01:00This busy antiques fair in Utoxeter is just waiting for the Reds and Blues to dive in.
01:06Each team is given £300 to buy three items that they hope, they hope, will make a profit.
01:12They'll have to complete my challenge and one item must be a big spend of £75 or more.
01:18Then, it's off to the auction.
01:21Right, let's meet today's teams.
01:24Hi, I'm Emma.
01:25And I'm Kate.
01:26And we're best buddies.
01:27And the best at Finding Bargains.
01:30We'll see if you make the best profits. How's your antiques knowledge?
01:34Mum's got a better knowledge than me, but I like, I just like looking at things and like, I just
01:40love shopping.
01:42That's a good start. What are your tactics?
01:45I'd like to buy things that we like and try not to spend too, too much money.
01:50I think we should spend it all personally.
01:53OK, this could be interesting. Who is going to do the haggling?
01:57I think I'll probably try, but probably fail.
02:03Let's see who you're up against.
02:05Hi, I'm Andrew.
02:06And I'm Lucy.
02:07We don't want to win.
02:08We're gonna win.
02:10Confident?
02:11Are you competitive?
02:13Oh, very much so, yeah.
02:14In everything we do.
02:15We always say, no, we're members who come second, do we?
02:17That's literally our motto going up, no, we're members who come second.
02:22So, you're out to win.
02:23And I hear you have an extra team member.
02:26I am expecting a baby boy, so hopefully he might give us a kick in the right direction.
02:31So, who's in charge?
02:33Yeah, obviously, I'm captain.
02:34Was there any doubt?
02:36Glad that's sorted.
02:37Let's get things underway.
02:40Teams, hello to you.
02:42How are you?
02:43Good to see you.
02:45Tell me how you're feeling, excited?
02:47Very excited.
02:48So excited.
02:49So, who's going to take the money for the rest?
02:52OK, Kate, there you are, my friend.
02:54And for the blue?
02:55Lucy.
02:56Lucy, thank you very much.
02:57So, Emma, a challenge for you.
02:59Yes, thank you.
03:00And I have a challenge for you, Andrew.
03:00Thank you very much.
03:01But don't open them just yet, because before the clock ticks, you must meet your antiques experts.
03:06Are you ready to meet them?
03:07We are, yes.
03:09Well, they are very much ready to meet you.
03:10So, teams, best of luck.
03:11Off you go.
03:12Thank you very much.
03:13So, they're off to meet their antiques experts.
03:15But, what makes a good one?
03:19I want them to be fun.
03:21We'd like someone who's really knowledgeable.
03:24Knowledgeable.
03:25And hopefully, they're very funny.
03:27No pressure then, huh?
03:28Hello, ladies.
03:29For the Reds, it's Aireita Marriott.
03:31Well, I can help.
03:33And for the Blues, it's John Cameron.
03:35How are you?
03:36Time to open those challenges.
03:38A piece of 20th century jewellery.
03:41It's okay.
03:42Any item with connection to Staffordshire.
03:45Staffordshire is the potting centre of the UK.
03:48So, I don't think we'll have any problems finding any.
03:51Time to hunt out those deals.
03:53Your 60 minutes start now.
03:55Let's go.
03:56No time to waste.
03:58Are you ready?
03:59I'm ready.
04:00Don't panic.
04:01You have plenty of stalls to look at, so get stuck in, teams.
04:04There's so many things.
04:06I know.
04:07Could this dog beat the Blues Staffordshire challenge?
04:10Is that nice?
04:11Is that Staffordshire or not?
04:12Well, it's Wade.
04:13Okay.
04:14Wade is a Staffordshire pottery.
04:16£20.
04:16Are you thinking about that as one of your items?
04:18Well, I feel like it could be a maybe.
04:20But what's the best price?
04:22We can do them for $50.
04:24All right.
04:24Thank you very much.
04:25I can see us coming back for that.
04:26All right, you can see you later.
04:28Brilliant.
04:29What a start that is.
04:30Yes.
04:31A possibility already.
04:33Emma's found something she really likes.
04:36You like boxes?
04:37I like boxes.
04:38I mean, it's beautifully lined inside, embossed on top.
04:42It's just base metal.
04:43Yeah.
04:43So there's no precious value of any kind.
04:45No.
04:45It's probably made in about 1950s, 1970s.
04:49I mean, it's £15.
04:52Yeah, nothing is it?
04:52Like, it's not a lot of money for what it is.
04:55Is it good enough quality to stand on its own in an auction?
04:59I don't know.
05:00Probably not.
05:01We'll leave that there.
05:02I'm noting that you like boxes.
05:05I've noted that.
05:06We'll look for some more.
05:07Go on.
05:08Andrew's found one of the tools of the trade that we see a lot on Bargain Hunt.
05:12It's a nice gavel, actually.
05:14It's actually a really nice piece.
05:15It's a nice piece, isn't it?
05:16Yeah.
05:1618 quid.
05:17The studs on there as well.
05:18It's got a little bit of age.
05:19It certainly had some use, because you can see it on those caps there, can't you?
05:23Yeah.
05:23Yeah, well, hold on.
05:24We might get golden ones.
05:25We might get golden ones.
05:28I'm loving the optimism.
05:31The Reds have spotted another box.
05:34I love that shape.
05:35Yeah, and it's just so comfy to hold as well.
05:37Yes.
05:38It is really nice.
05:39Tactile, isn't it?
05:39Tactile is the correct word for it.
05:41Yeah.
05:41Solid silver, it's a snuff box.
05:43Yeah.
05:44And what I like about this is that it's got a gilt interior.
05:47Mm-hm.
05:47That's a sign of quality.
05:49Yeah.
05:50What's the price on it?
05:5175.
05:53I think that's a bit...
05:54A bit pricey, yeah.
05:55A bit pricey for the condition that it is.
05:57Yeah.
05:58Because if you look, it's got quite a lot of dents.
06:00Yeah.
06:00And it's not staying shut.
06:02Okay.
06:03Yeah.
06:03We'll pop that back then.
06:04Lovely thing.
06:05Yeah.
06:05The condition puts her down.
06:07Mm-hm.
06:08The hunt continues.
06:10John's seen something else that could meet the Blues Staffordshire Challenge.
06:14I like the bigger set.
06:15All right, guys.
06:15I've just thought I'd think outside the box.
06:18Okay.
06:18This is a consideration.
06:19Okay.
06:20I asked the gentleman here on this store whether he has Staffordshire maps.
06:24Oh, okay.
06:24Because pottery is clearly obvious.
06:26It is an obvious choice.
06:27Yeah.
06:27So, and he did.
06:29He had this map here, which has certainly got some age to it.
06:31It says,
06:32Bad Slade and Toms, 1741, mounted with a plan of Stafford from Hermanides, Britannia Magna,
06:381661.
06:39So that is 17th century.
06:41Wow.
06:42And that is quite a rare town plan of, look, Staffordia.
06:48Staffordia.
06:49The Roman.
06:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:51That's really nice.
06:52I like that.
06:52It's interesting, isn't it?
06:53How much is that one going for?
06:54It's ticket price is 95.
06:56Okay.
06:57That could be a double.
06:58We could get that.
06:59That would do the Staffordshire and that big bar.
07:01Yeah.
07:01We've got two things done.
07:03I think that's really different.
07:04I really like that.
07:05Shall we speak to the storeholder?
07:06Yeah.
07:06Yeah.
07:08I'm interested in this map.
07:10You've got 95 on it.
07:11Could you do 75?
07:1275.
07:13I'd do 18.
07:14What do you reckon, kids?
07:15Split the difference?
07:1777?
07:18Yeah, exactly.
07:19That'd be brilliant.
07:2077?
07:21Yeah.
07:22I think 77 is a good deal.
07:23That's brilliant.
07:24Shake this man's hand quickly before we change his mind.
07:26Thank you very much.
07:27Really appreciate it.
07:27Thank you so much.
07:28Wow.
07:29Blues, your first item has met both of my challenges in just 12 minutes.
07:34Two Staffordshire maps bought for 77 pounds.
07:39Excellent.
07:39We've got two challenges out of the way in one.
07:41Always love it when we do that.
07:42You can go wild.
07:44Well, within budget.
07:46The Reds are looking at 20th century jewellery for my challenge.
07:51Oh my gosh, I love rings.
07:52I sometimes like the boxes they come in more than the actual rings.
07:56I like that one.
07:58That one.
07:58Yeah, I can't see the price.
08:00I don't think we can afford that.
08:01We can't afford that.
08:02Too much of a diamond.
08:04I can't.
08:05Too much of a diamond.
08:07Boxes are becoming a real theme in this shop.
08:10Tell me why you like the boxes.
08:12The wood, the texture, the craftsmanship.
08:14Yeah, they're really pretty as well.
08:16Yeah.
08:16Any catcher eye?
08:17Well, I like the curved tops first.
08:19You like the dome tops?
08:20Yeah.
08:20The little caskets.
08:21So that one there, that's really nice.
08:24This has got a lovely burr wood on it.
08:26Yeah.
08:26You see the nice figuring?
08:28Yeah.
08:28Mm-hmm.
08:28You get the burrs from the ugly growths on the side of trees.
08:32You know the ones that look like a wart?
08:33Oh, okay, yeah.
08:34And when you slice that through like bacon, you get this beautiful burr figuring.
08:38It's why burr woods are so expensive.
08:41Okay.
08:41Because it's a floor that's been embraced so to speak.
08:43Yes.
08:44What we've got on there is a price.
08:4670.
08:47I could do 50 on that.
08:49Do you want to give that some thought?
08:50Yeah, we'll give that some thought.
08:52Really nice.
08:53Thank you so much.
08:54So the wooden box is a possibility.
08:57The Reds are still on the lookout for a piece of 20th century jewellery to complete my challenge.
09:03They are earrings and a brooch.
09:05The colour's lovely.
09:06I love the design.
09:08I like how they like overlap over each other as well.
09:11And it has that beautiful engine turn detail underneath.
09:15Like look how that shimmers.
09:16Mid-century jewellery from Scandinavia with enamel is the thing to buy really.
09:23I think these were made 70 or so years ago.
09:26They are as modern as anything.
09:27Timeless in their design.
09:29Yeah.
09:29So that's 79 pounds and that's 49.
09:32So that's 128 pounds.
09:35And if you buy them together, you could meet both your challenges.
09:39Do you like them enough to buy them?
09:42I do like them.
09:43Yeah.
09:44We could ask them what the best price is.
09:46Okay.
09:47Do you want to go through, Mum?
09:48Absolutely not.
09:50There you go.
09:51Oh, that was confident, wasn't it?
09:53Looks like it's up to you, Mum.
09:56We're interested in both of these.
09:58Oh, aren't they beautiful?
09:59They are.
09:59They're a beautiful colour.
10:00We were just wondering what the best deal you could do for both of them.
10:05How does 84 sound?
10:06So if it gets to 85, you've got a pound in it for your gavel.
10:09What do you reckon, team 84?
10:10Or shall we?
10:12Yeah.
10:12Could we go any lower?
10:14Could we go any lower?
10:14Wiggle room.
10:1579.
10:18The face.
10:20Go on, we'll do 79.
10:2179 too.
10:22Oh my God, what?
10:22We'll do 79.
10:23We love you.
10:25Yes.
10:26Did you just get it for 79?
10:28Yes, please.
10:30Thank you so much.
10:31Well done, Reds.
10:32That's your big spend and challenge to buy a piece of 20th century jewellery complete.
10:38Are you happy with that?
10:38I'm very happy with that.
10:40Okay.
10:40I sure are.
10:41We'll go find a box.
10:44These Reds have a one-track mind.
10:47Now, what's next for the Blues?
10:49Anything grab your eye on here, guys?
10:51No.
10:52Oh, the skull's different.
10:54Yeah.
10:54It is nice, isn't it?
10:55Composite skull.
10:56They do sell, you know.
10:58That sort of witchcrafty stuff is quite popular.
11:00It's quite...
11:01Yeah, I do fun whenever I have anything like that.
11:04It seems to do okay.
11:05They do okay.
11:06Yeah, yeah.
11:06Even though it's not a real one.
11:08It's heavy.
11:08Oh, thank you.
11:09It's like a resin, isn't it?
11:10It has got some weight to it, isn't it?
11:11Yeah.
11:12Yeah.
11:12I quite like it.
11:13See if you can do a deal.
11:15What's the death on it?
11:17I can do 40, mate.
11:1840 pounds?
11:19What do you think, guys?
11:20It is cool.
11:21I do like it.
11:22What do you think?
11:23I like it.
11:23Do you sell it in your auction room?
11:24The smells are really popular.
11:26I reckon that the 40 quid would get a profit out of that.
11:28Okay.
11:29Could we stake a bit more on it?
11:32Oh.
11:3335 would be literally...
11:35Oh, we've got to take that.
11:36We've got to take it.
11:37I think 35's good.
11:38I would actually buy that for myself at that price.
11:40Yeah.
11:40Shake the lady's hand then.
11:41Yeah.
11:42Yeah, I think so.
11:43It's coming through.
11:44Look at that.
11:44You shake the lady.
11:45You shake the lady.
11:46Look at that.
11:46Thank you so much.
11:48That's fantastic.
11:49That is item number two in the bag.
11:52A composite human skull for just 35 pounds.
11:55I think we can head down here now.
11:57Yeah.
11:57We're doing well.
11:59We're doing well.
12:00The reds haven't moved too far.
12:02What have they found?
12:04It's a fruit knife and orange peeler combined.
12:06It is stunning.
12:08That's so cool.
12:09It is so rare.
12:10I absolutely adore that.
12:12So we've got mother of pearl body.
12:14Yeah.
12:15A knife to cut the oranges with.
12:17Yeah.
12:18And a peeler.
12:18And a peeler.
12:19Wow.
12:19How lovely is that?
12:20That's so cool.
12:21Want to have a look at the hallmarks and see what you can see?
12:25Yeah, there's a crown, a lion, a K and a WN.
12:31Okay.
12:31So the lion is the bit that you always are looking for.
12:34Okay.
12:34Because that indicates that it's British silver.
12:35Right.
12:36The crown is Sheffield.
12:37Oh.
12:38And then the letter is the date letter.
12:40That will be early 1900s.
12:43Mm-hmm.
12:43That's lovely.
12:44I've never seen anything like it before.
12:46Don't ask.
12:47You will struggle finding another one.
12:49It's 125.
12:50We could ask Phoebe.
12:52See what the best price is.
12:55Mm.
12:55Okay.
12:55Hello.
12:56Hello.
12:56We really, really like it.
12:58I know you've fallen in love with it, haven't you?
12:59I've fallen in love with it.
13:00What were you going to offer me?
13:02What were you going to offer me?
13:05Go on.
13:06I know you love it.
13:08I'll do it at 59 for you.
13:10I think we should do a video.
13:11Yeah.
13:11Lovely.
13:12Thank you so much.
13:14Kate and Emma are on a roll.
13:16That's item number two, a silver and mother-of-pearl pocket knife and orange peeler for £59.
13:23Two down.
13:25One to go.
13:26One to go.
13:26We have to find a box.
13:29Yeah.
13:29While the teams keep shopping, I'm nipping off to see an incredible collection.
13:41Over the years, many bargain hunt teams have found themselves drawn to jewellery.
13:47From bald brooches.
13:49That peacock's something else, isn't it?
13:51It is.
13:51To pretty precious stones.
13:53Little diamonds around the outside.
13:56And shiny silver.
13:57Very cool.
13:58Very trendy.
13:59But sometimes you come across a collection that, frankly, knocks your socks off.
14:05And that's what this is.
14:06All of this jewellery here is from the arts and crafts movement.
14:10Well, almost all of it.
14:11And it's exclusively designed by women.
14:13So, yeah.
14:14Girl power.
14:15And here to tell me all about it is a familiar face to bargain hunt viewers auctioneer,
14:20Hetty Jago.
14:21Hetty, thank you for bringing along this collection.
14:24I love arts and crafts, particularly jewellery.
14:27I just think it's such a timeless style and still so wearable now as it was a hundred or
14:31so years ago.
14:32It was a movement after quite a lot of change.
14:34So, it was sort of the late 19th, early 20th century.
14:37And we've been through the Industrial Revolution and we're really seeing the effects of that,
14:40particularly on the decorative arts.
14:42And, unfortunately, handmade pieces and crafts people were becoming less and less valued.
14:46So, this was really a revival of crafting and hand-making.
14:50You saw a lot of floral motifs, a lot of inspiration from nature.
14:55And we've got a really lovely collection here, all by female designers.
14:59Women were often at the forefront of this movement, but were overlooked.
15:02As in those days, they weren't recognised in the same way as their male contemporaries.
15:07First of all, we've got this lovely collection by Dori Nossiter.
15:10Now, she was born in 1893 in Aston in Birmingham.
15:13And she went to the Municipal School of Art to study drawing with a focus on plant form.
15:17And I think you can really see that in these pieces.
15:20So, you've got these beautiful floral, sort of flowing designs.
15:23She used a lot of gemstones in her designs, as you can see here.
15:26Now, this brooch is probably worth somewhere between £600 to £800 at auction.
15:32Amazing.
15:32Interestingly, her work very often gets misattributed to other designers.
15:36And this is quite a common problem, because all of these people were working around about the same time.
15:41They all knew each other.
15:42And they're all taking sort of inspiration from each other.
15:44So, looking back, it's now quite hard to attribute certain pieces to certain people.
15:49I think everything on this table is actually unsigned.
15:52What about the necklaces on the stand there?
15:54Are they also Dori Nossiter?
15:56No, these are by somebody called Amy Sandheim.
15:58And she actually studied sculpture.
16:01And I think you can really see that in her work.
16:03It really is quite sculptural.
16:04It's quite fluid in design.
16:06They're really beautiful pieces and probably worth somewhere between £500 and £750 each.
16:12Really.
16:12The influence of nature can be seen in these pieces, and they've used stones such as opals, moonstones and citrine.
16:21The arts and crafts style continued to influence designers, long after the movement had its heyday.
16:28These pieces here are by Charles and Gladys Mumford, who are actually designing closer to sort of the mid-20th
16:34century.
16:35So, very much inspired by the arts and crafts designers, but later.
16:38And that's a good thing if you were looking to buy a piece by these designers, because actually they're a
16:43little bit more affordable.
16:44Brooches by these makers come up quite often at auction.
16:47Only about £20.
16:49And isn't that a lovely history to invest in for just a few pounds?
16:53So, if our viewers are interested themselves in arts and crafts jewellery, what should they be looking out for?
17:00I think it's really important to look for quality.
17:03And you really want it to be a handmade piece.
17:06And interestingly, with this sort of thing, you sort of want to see imperfections, because it tells you that it's
17:10actually of the period and not later made.
17:12And also, another top tip is to look at the clasp.
17:15So, this is what's called a C-clasp, and they didn't so often use these sort of post-1940s.
17:19So, that's one indication that it is actually of the period.
17:22You want it to be kind of wonky.
17:25Yeah.
17:25That's no bad thing.
17:26No, it's handmade.
17:27That's what we love about the arts and crafts movement.
17:29Exactly.
17:30Hetty, thank you very much for bringing this collection.
17:33It's fabulous.
17:34It's valuable.
17:35And I feel like I've learned a lot.
17:37So, thank you very much.
17:40Back to the shop, and with less than half an hour to go, all the challenges are done.
17:45And both teams just have one item to find.
17:48I'll give you one guess what the Reds are looking at.
17:51Surprise, surprise, surprise, it's a box.
17:54Oh, yeah.
17:55It's a leather one.
17:56This one actually has something inside.
17:58And it's a medicine glass.
18:00Oh.
18:00So, it's beautifully marked.
18:041880s, 1900s.
18:05Because the doctors didn't often have patients come to them.
18:10They went to patients.
18:11They were on the road.
18:12They had to have a bag that had everything they needed.
18:15And it would have something like that.
18:16So, they had to protect the glass to make sure it didn't damage.
18:19Yeah.
18:20In the transit.
18:21Yeah.
18:22I quite like that.
18:23How much is it?
18:2425 pounds.
18:26I think that's lovely, but...
18:27Shall we carry on for a bit?
18:29Yeah.
18:30Yeah.
18:30We can come back to it, if not.
18:32While the Reds consider the medicine measuring glass,
18:36John is hoping to light up the blues with this dazzling display.
18:40I saw this and I just thought, I've got to show you this.
18:42It's a wonderful collection of uranium glass.
18:45Wow.
18:46It literally is uranium glass.
18:47It is.
18:47If you put a garga counter to it, you'd pick up on it.
18:50It would...
18:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:50A lot of it made in the 30s.
18:52Mostly press moulded.
18:53Yeah.
18:54But I've never seen it illuminated in this way.
18:57It's beautiful.
18:57It's absolutely fantastic.
18:58Very unusual.
18:58It really glows, doesn't it?
19:00I've never seen anything like it.
19:01No.
19:01You got any favourite pieces?
19:03Yes.
19:03Yes.
19:03This was made in about 1880.
19:06These are solid silver studs.
19:08Goodness me.
19:08And it's got a plunger.
19:10Oh, look at that.
19:11For the perfume.
19:11So this is a shop display one?
19:13This was made for Paris perfumery.
19:16And it's just to get people in, basically.
19:18And dare I ask the price of that?
19:19I think it's about £400.
19:21That's a bit above our budget, I think, isn't it?
19:23Yeah.
19:24All right.
19:24Thank you very much.
19:25It's very pretty.
19:27But if you can't afford it, move on.
19:29Back to the reds.
19:31And I wonder what they're looking at.
19:33There's another box.
19:34Oh, that one's cold.
19:36These are carved out of a nut.
19:38It's a coquilla nut from South America.
19:41And they're really, really hard.
19:43Yeah, I was going to say, because it looks like wood.
19:45If you feel that, imagine carving that.
19:49And this is 150-plus years old.
19:52Yeah.
19:53It's beautiful, indeed.
19:54The way they had to work that with tools is absolutely incredible.
20:02Yeah.
20:02And it's so smooth still.
20:04Yeah.
20:05It's described as it is for needles.
20:07£34.
20:09It's not a lot of money.
20:10Yeah.
20:11But I can see there's some health issues.
20:15There's a bit there.
20:15And that will make a difference.
20:17Yeah.
20:18In the condition that it is.
20:20Mm-hmm.
20:20It's £10, £15.
20:22Yeah.
20:23But how cute.
20:25It tastes.
20:2615 minutes to go, and both teams are still looking for their final buy.
20:31These are vinaigrettes, or vinaigrettes, as they were.
20:34And they contained a little sponge.
20:36You see these things here, the little grill?
20:37Mm-hmm.
20:38They would have a sponge inside where you would soak them in some sort of perfume.
20:41Yeah.
20:42Yeah.
20:42And during the 19th century, the sewage systems were non-existent.
20:46Yes.
20:47So as cities were growing with the Industrial Revolution, the sewage, the stench became
20:51unbearable.
20:52So you used to have that.
20:53And so you would pick that out of your pocket and you could just hold it under your nose.
20:57Wow.
20:58And people collect vinaigrettes, silver boxes.
21:00These are beautiful.
21:01This is what you call a castle top.
21:03Yeah.
21:03These are card cases, crawling card cases.
21:05Yeah, yeah.
21:05Beautiful done, isn't it?
21:07They can make five, six, seven hundred, eight hundred quid.
21:10Do you want to look at anything at all?
21:11Yeah.
21:12I mean, I did like that, but I think when you said that price, it's voila.
21:14Yeah, yeah.
21:15I'll have you to sit.
21:16I've got expensive taste.
21:18Just not the budget to match.
21:19Time to move on.
21:22Kate and Ellie are looking at something small and silver, and oh, yes, it's a box.
21:28I like the design on it.
21:30It has that Art Nouveau kind of influence.
21:34It's definitely silver hallmarks.
21:36It's not British, so it's continental.
21:38Mm.
21:39I mean, it is unusual.
21:42Yeah.
21:43I think it's ecclesiastical.
21:44I think there's two sorts of church-related oils.
21:47And you could have the solid oil in the top and a liquid oil in the top.
21:50And a liquid, yeah.
21:51That would make sense to me.
21:52How old do you think it is?
21:54I would have said probably 30, 40 years old.
21:57That could be 30 pounds.
21:59Okay.
22:00You're very welcome.
22:02Yeah, no.
22:04Not at the moment.
22:05Okay.
22:06Let's move on.
22:07The perfect box is out there somewhere.
22:10Keep looking.
22:11John has spotted a potential final item for the blues.
22:15You like those?
22:16They're really sweet.
22:17They are nice.
22:18Silver enamel art deco cocktail sticks.
22:21So enamel like that is ground-powdered glass mixed with a colour.
22:27And they paint it on and then it has to be fired in an oven to vitrify it and then
22:33it's polished down flat to get this wonderful effect.
22:36So they're beautiful things aren't they?
22:38They're stunning.
22:38I really like those.
22:39Look, they've got £120 is the ticket price.
22:42What do you think I'd fetch at auction?
22:44Well, they're nice quality.
22:46They've got a bit of age to them and they're in good condition.
22:48I could see them making pushing £100.
22:50Oh, really?
22:51Yeah.
22:51I mean, I think they're worth that.
22:53Is that what they would have actually came in originally?
22:56Or that backing?
22:56That probably is actually.
22:58It would have been part of a box.
23:00So they would have been in the case.
23:01So the inside of the case.
23:01The case is obviously gone.
23:03Yes.
23:03Time to have a word with the dealer.
23:05We've got £120 on these.
23:07We need to be kind to give you a fighting chance.
23:09This young lady, yeah.
23:10She's eight months pregnant.
23:11Yes.
23:14Very, very best.
23:15I'll do them at £75 for a while.
23:17What do you think of that?
23:19That's a very generous discount.
23:20Yeah.
23:21While the Blues have a think about the cocktail sticks,
23:24the Reds are heading back to the £25 medicine measuring glass in a box.
23:2920.
23:31That would be my very best, obviously.
23:3320.
23:3420.
23:35Would you go to 19?
23:37Go on, then.
23:39Yeah.
23:39Are we happy?
23:40Yes.
23:40Are you happy?
23:41I'm happy.
23:42Yeah, that's...
23:43Thank you very much.
23:45To me, you being happy is all that matters.
23:48Thank you so much.
23:49That's the Reds' final item.
23:51And at last, for £19, they have a box containing a medicine measuring glass.
23:57Great work.
23:58I'm ready for a drink, and I need an OK.
24:03With five minutes left, are the Blues going to try and get an even better deal on the cocktail sticks?
24:09Any chance we could get £69 on those?
24:12It's a little squeeze.
24:13It's a little squeeze.
24:14A little squeeze.
24:15For you and the baby gone, £69.
24:17Thank you so much.
24:18Thank you so much.
24:19Thank you so much.
24:20The baby has kicked you in the right direction.
24:24That's your final item in the bag.
24:25A set of enameled cocktail sticks for £69.
24:29Oh, teams, time to cool off.
24:32The shopping's done.
24:33We need to go and get a cup of tea, I think.
24:34That sounds perfect.
24:35Wonderful.
24:36Thank you very much.
24:37Brilliant.
24:37Let's remind ourselves of the red team box.
24:41Emma and Kate kick things off with this Danish silver and turquoise enamel jewellery,
24:46which completed my challenge and big spend at £79.
24:52Kate fell in love with this silver and mother of pearl pocket knife and orange peeler for £59.
25:00And finally, after looking at a lot of boxes,
25:03they picked up this medicine measuring glass and leather box for £19.
25:09Emma, Kate, Rita, how did you enjoy that shop?
25:13It was fantastic.
25:14Oh, I'm so pleased.
25:15You're doing it so much.
25:16Yeah.
25:17It was so good.
25:17You love boxes.
25:20No denying it.
25:21So tell me, Emma, of the three items, which is your favourite?
25:25The medicine glass in the little leather case.
25:28Sort of in a box.
25:29It's sort of in a box, yeah.
25:31So that's your favourite.
25:32Which is going to bring the biggest profit?
25:34The orange peeler.
25:36Ah, very cool item.
25:38Which is beautiful.
25:39Lovely.
25:40Okay, so Kate, which is your favourite item?
25:42The orange peeler.
25:42Yeah.
25:43Yeah, I loved it so much.
25:44Literally fell in love with it.
25:45The pearl, literally everything about it.
25:48You love it.
25:48I love it.
25:49But which will bring the biggest profit?
25:51I think maybe the jewellery.
25:52Because I haven't seen anything like it before.
25:55Nice way to fulfil the challenge.
25:56And you think it might bring the biggest profit.
25:58Let's remind ourselves what you spent, £157.
26:02Mm-hm.
26:03So, who has £143?
26:05I do.
26:06Ah, you're still in charge of the money.
26:07Okay, so over it goes.
26:09That you guys.
26:09Thank you very much.
26:11Okay.
26:11Can you give us a clue, Aretha?
26:12I think I might expand on something that Kate fell in love with.
26:17Oh.
26:17Ooh.
26:18I'm excited now.
26:19I'm honoured.
26:21So, Aretha's off to find a bonus buy for the Reds.
26:25Let's remind ourselves now what the competition the Blue team bought.
26:29The Blues met their big spend and their Staffordshire challenge in one with these antique maps for £77.
26:38For their second item, they found this composite model of a human skull for £35.
26:45And with less than five minutes left, they struck a deal on these silver and enamel rooster cocktail sticks for
26:52£69.
26:55Andrew, Lucy, John, here we stand and you can finally relax.
27:00There, all done.
27:01Yes, the shopping's done.
27:02Although, actually, John, it was quite a relaxed shop.
27:04It's one of the most relaxed times I've had shopping.
27:06It was a breeze.
27:07So, Andrew, tell me which item you love the most.
27:10Which is your favourite?
27:11Ah, the skull.
27:11The skull, yes.
27:12I think the skull, yeah.
27:13Which is going to bring the biggest profits?
27:16Oh, I think Lucy's cocktail sticks will get the most money, I think.
27:21I think so, too, personally.
27:22So, Lucy, which then is your favourite, would you say?
27:25The cocktail sticks, yeah.
27:25The cocktail sticks, OK.
27:27So, having spent £181, Lucy, are you still in charge of the money?
27:31I am.
27:32Yes, so do you have £119 to hand over to John?
27:35I believe I do.
27:36OK.
27:36Spend it wisely.
27:38I won't.
27:39Yes.
27:40Are you thinking of spending it wisely, John, or are you thinking of going wild?
27:43I don't know, but I've got plenty of time to do this, so I'm going to have a nice walk
27:46round.
27:46I have no pressure.
27:48Ah, no, I promise.
27:49We trust you.
27:49So, John's off to find a bonus buy for the Blues, and it's time now for us to head to
27:53the auction.
27:57I've headed to Lincolnshire to meet auctioneer Kirsty Pearson.
28:01How are you?
28:03I'm very well, thank you.
28:04I'm very pleased to have you in the sat room today.
28:05Oh, thank you very much.
28:07Well, I'm very pleased to present to you quite a quirky set of lots.
28:11We have Emma and Kate for the Reds with our Rita, and we'll start with the least quirky
28:16of their items, actually, the 20th century enamel jewellery, which was my challenge.
28:21These take us to Denmark, don't they?
28:23They do.
28:24So, their biomaker Jamex, popular, nice enamel jewellery, early 20th century examples.
28:30You're probably looking in the region of £60 to £90 at the moment.
28:34£60 to £90, OK.
28:36The team kind of knew that.
28:37They made them their big spend as well.
28:40So, £79 is what they paid.
28:42So, there is hope.
28:44And then we move on to the quirkier.
28:47We have this gorgeous Edwardian fruit knife because integrated is the spoon with the orange peeling edge.
28:55It's a touch of class, isn't it?
28:56It is.
28:57It really is something a bit different.
28:58I mean, you see penknives quite a lot, but with the added orange peel, you know, sort of element on
29:04it, it's definitely top-end.
29:05I estimate it in the region of £50 to £80.
29:08I hope it will make a wee bit more.
29:10The team did really well.
29:11They paid £59.
29:12A beautiful item.
29:14To round us off, our third lot, we have a little measuring cup and a little measure as well with
29:20their cases.
29:21In that early 20th century period, they used to have a little trinket for everything, didn't they?
29:27Quite nice examples with their cases.
29:29Often you don't see the cases in as good a nick as what they are.
29:32We've put them in at £10 to £20.
29:34£19 is what they paid.
29:37So that's us for Emma and Kate.
29:39Let's move on to the Blues.
29:41Andrew and Lucy, their expert is John Cameron and he expertly helped them tick off my challenge, which was an
29:49item with a connection to Staffordshire.
29:51So we're in the 18th century with this Staffordshire map and there's also a 17th century plan of Stafford thrown
29:57in for good measure.
29:58So proper antique and properly collected, aren't these?
30:03Yeah, definitely.
30:04Strong market for them.
30:05Obviously, you've got it nicely mounted in there.
30:07Sometimes you can have them loose, framed, but you've got the history on the top there as well.
30:12And like you say, the two different periods and two slightly different elements to it.
30:17We'd put it in at £60 to £90.
30:19Oh, great.
30:19It was a big spend.
30:20They spent £77, the Blues, on the map and the plan.
30:24Right.
30:25A composition and ceramic model of a human skull.
30:28That's your catalogue description.
30:29It certainly has weight to it.
30:32It's certainly not real, but it is a really good depiction, isn't it?
30:38This is for lovers of sculpture and for, I guess, anatomists as well.
30:43Definitely.
30:43I mean, you know, there is those collectors out there, obviously for the real ones and the composition ones as
30:49well.
30:49This one is a bit more affordable for everybody than the anatomy sort of side of it.
30:53We've put it in at £30 to £50 and we'll see what happens under the armour.
30:57£35 was paid.
30:58I'm interested to see how this one goes.
31:01And always delighted to see cocktail sticks.
31:05I just think they're really flamboyant and fun.
31:08You'll know we see quite a few of them sail in, sail out.
31:11The ones that make these a little bit different is that enamel detail that's on the top there.
31:15It's just adding that extra touch of class to them.
31:17So we've put them in at £40 to £60.
31:20£69 was paid.
31:22We'll see how they go.
31:23I think they might just do it.
31:25You'll be on the rostrum.
31:27What should I expect?
31:28All excitement from the start.
31:30All excitement.
31:31Best of luck.
31:33£40 is paid at £42, £45.
31:35Are we all sure?
31:37Emma, Kate, Arita, now that we're here, are the nerves starting to kick in or are you thinking,
31:42I got this, I'm comfortable, we're cool?
31:44I'm just really excited.
31:46Yeah.
31:46Fingers crossed.
31:47We are going to start with double challenge extravaganza.
31:51So it's the big spend.
31:52It's 20th century jewellery, it's some Danish silver and enamel.
31:56It's beautiful.
31:57You paid £79.
32:00Are we going to get off the mark with a profit?
32:02Hopefully.
32:02Yes, we are.
32:03Okay, we are.
32:04Just say yes.
32:05Here it comes.
32:05The suite of Gemak's Danish silver and turquoise enamel jewellery.
32:09Really nice set, this one.
32:11£100 for that one.
32:12£100 anybody?
32:13£80 to go then.
32:14£80.
32:15£50 then.
32:16£50 we have.
32:18And five.
32:1855 is bid.
32:2060 would you like.
32:20Oh, come on!
32:21At 60.
32:22And five.
32:2470.
32:25Come on!
32:26£70 is the bid.
32:28We are selling at £70.
32:32Oh!
32:35£70 is a £9 loss.
32:37How annoying.
32:38Here comes that fabulous pocket knife and fruit spoon and peeler.
32:43You paid £59.
32:45The rare pattern Edward VII, silver mother of pearl bound pocket knife there.
32:50Added extra orange peeling spoon.
32:52And who's going to start me this one at £50?
32:56£50 for this one.
32:57£30 to go then.
32:58£30 is bid.
33:00£32.
33:01£35.

33:30Are we all sure?
33:31£85.
33:36£85.
33:36£26 profit and minus nine means that you are 17 in profit overall as we go into the third
33:44item.
33:45The measure and the measuring cup.
33:48£19 paid.
33:49Are we going to finish on a profit?
33:51Fingers crossed.
33:51Fingers crossed.
33:53Here it comes.
33:54The early 20th century cut glass measuring cup there.
33:57Engraved table and tea.
33:59Who's going to start with these ones at £20?
34:01£20 for the little measures there.
34:02£20.
34:03£10 to go then.
34:04£10 for £10.
34:06£5 then if we must.
34:07£5.

34:16£6 bid.
34:17£7 if we're coming back.
34:18£6.
34:29£6 is the bid.
34:32Yes, you're still in profit by £4.
34:35OK.
34:35There's one more lot to sell.
34:37Irita is fully responsible for it.
34:40You left her £143.
34:42So please grab the bonus buy and ladies, please close your eyes and we'll see what Irita's
34:47come up with.
34:48Are you ready ladies?
34:49Yes.
34:50Wow.
34:52OK, yeah, that's really, really nice.
34:54I really like that.
34:56You fell in love with Mother of Pale, didn't you?
34:59Yeah.
34:59She certainly did, yeah.
35:00It's a fruit bag, but it is much larger than what you normally see.
35:04The detail is absolutely superb.
35:07How much did you pay for it?
35:09I paid £29.
35:11Wow, that's good.
35:11That's really good I feel like.
35:13Oh, thank you.
35:13What do you think?
35:14I think it's really good.
35:15What do you think it's going to make?
35:17I think that will make probably £40-ish.
35:20That's where I would see it.
35:22You are £4 in profit after three lots on bargain hands.
35:27Every pound counts.
35:29Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
35:31I feel like, yeah.
35:32Yes.
35:32100%.
35:33Definitely.
35:34The Reds are going with the bonus buy.
35:35Kate is in love with Mother of Pearl.
35:37Is Kirsty in love with this knife?
35:41You've got the silver blade on there, the added extra of a bit of Mother of Pearl to the handle.
35:44It's 1871, so that's sort of Victorian era, so that explains why you've got the engraved name on there, very
35:51much what they used to do.
35:53It was owned by a woman called Edith Peck and not everyone could afford something like this.
35:57Really nice piece.
35:58What's your estimate?
35:59We've put it in at £25-40.
36:01Aretha will be delighted.
36:02She only paid £29, which for something so classy seems like a great deal.
36:06Absolutely.
36:08Kirsty says £25-40, so she thinks £29 is a good ticket price.
36:14Right, let's turn £4 into something more fabulous.
36:17Here comes the bonus buy.
36:19The Victorian silver and Mother of Pearl bound pocket fruit knife there.
36:23£30 for this one.
36:24£30.
36:25£30 straight in.
36:26Yay!
36:27At £30 we have, two anywhere.
36:29Are we all sure?
36:31We are selling at £30.
36:34Yay!
36:35You did it!
36:37A £30 hammer, that £1 profit turns your four into five.
36:41And I tell you what, I don't know about you, but it feels like a moment.
36:46I am delighted for you.
36:53Andrew, Lucy, John, here we are.
36:56There are four on this team, officially.
36:58There's a wee baby in there.
36:59So how is the baby giving you any signs as to whether or not you'll be making a profit today?
37:04It's pretty settled today, so hopefully that's a good sign.
37:06I like that.
37:07OK, just like the Reds, you decided to tick off your big spend and your challenge,
37:11this time something with a connection to Staffordshire.
37:14You spent £77 on a 17th and 18th century lot.
37:18Shall we make a profit, Blues?
37:20Let's hope.
37:21Fingers crossed.
37:22The 18th century map of Staffordshire there, and who's going to start me this one at £50?
37:27£50.
37:27£50 for the map of Staffordshire.
37:29Let's get going at £50.
37:30£50.
37:31£40 to go then.
37:33£40.
37:33Somebody bid me.
37:35£30, anybody?
37:37£29.
37:38£30.
37:39£20, anybody?
37:41£20's bid, two anywhere.
37:43£20 bid, two would you like.
37:44£20 is the bid.
37:45We've got £20.
37:45Are we all sure?
37:46£20 I have.
37:48It's your last chance.
37:49Selling then at £20.
37:52Oh!
37:54Minus 57 on our first lot.
37:56It's a big chunk.
37:58It's a chunk.
37:58But don't worry.
37:59Can we make it up?
38:00A human skull.
38:01Not a real one.
38:01But a really good looking sculpture.
38:04It's £35.
38:05I think it's going to make more.
38:06I don't want to jinx it.
38:08Here we go.
38:08The composition human skull.
38:10Nice fun lot this one.
38:11£30.
38:12£20 to go then for the skull.
38:15£20's bid, two anywhere.
38:16£20 bid, two bid.
38:18£25.
38:19£28 would you like.
38:21£25 is GY.
38:22Come on, come on.
38:23Come on, come on.
38:24A couple more.
38:24At £28, 30 bid.
38:26At £30 is bid.
38:27Two would we like.
38:28A couple more quiz.
38:29Are we all sure?
38:30We are selling at £30.
38:34I can't believe it.
38:35That's a £5 loss.
38:37So, minus 57 becomes minus 62.
38:40And it's the £69 cocktail sticks.
38:43This will bring it back.
38:43This will bring it back.
38:44This will do it.
38:44These sets of six silver and enamel cocktail sticks there.
38:48Rooster tops, really nice.
38:49Who's going to start me these ones at £50?
38:51£50 for those.
38:52£50.
38:53£30 to go then.
38:54£30.
38:55£30 is bid.
38:57Two bid.
38:58£35 bid.
38:59£38 would you like.
39:00£38 and £40.
39:02£40 is bid.
39:03Two bid.
39:04£42.
39:05£45.
39:06£45 is bid.
39:07£8 anywhere.
39:07We are selling at £45.
39:10£45.
39:12£45.
39:15£45.
39:16£45.
39:17£45, so that is a £24 loss.
39:19I feel like we did do very well there, guys.
39:22Well, let me tell you how you did.
39:23Minus 62, minus 24 is minus 86.
39:27Overall.
39:28Wow.
39:29How annoying.
39:29Now, you left on £119.
39:32John, please grab your bonus buy.
39:34And Blues, please close those eyes.
39:36So, John, over to you.
39:38I'm ready to open your eyes.
39:39And...
39:39Be impressed.
39:41Hey!
39:42The Scotty.
39:43The Scotty dog.
39:45He's going to make money, isn't he?
39:46You liked this, didn't you?
39:47I loved it.
39:48Dad loved it.
39:48I loved it.
39:49Well, he's a special edition.
39:51And...
39:51Do you want to know what to pay for him?
39:52Yes, please.
39:53Yeah, come on.
39:53How much you pay?
39:54Nine quid.
39:55Whoa!
39:55Bargain of the day.
39:57Nine quid.
39:58So, you know, what have we got to lose?
39:59No, exactly.
40:00He's barking mad not to go, wouldn't we?
40:02Exactly.
40:02I think he's got £15 in him.
40:04Yeah.
40:05Might claw a little bit back.
40:06Are you going with them all this way?
40:08Yes.
40:09We have to, don't we?
40:11So, the Blues have decided to go with the bonus buy.
40:13Of course they have.
40:14But what does Kirsty think?
40:17They are collectible items.
40:19The market has dropped off slightly for them over the years.
40:22I've put it in at £10 to £20.
40:24John only paid nine.
40:25So, in a weird way, you'll still be chuffed.
40:27Absolutely.
40:28Close one, but might get a return on there.
40:31Your bonus buy was purchased by John for £9,
40:34and Kirsty thinks £10 to £20.
40:36Wow!
40:37So, come on.
40:38Would be in profit.
40:39Well, not overall.
40:40However, Kirsty thinks you've made the right decision,
40:43and John's desperate to make you a profit.
40:45So, here comes.
40:45We need at least one.
40:47The Wade Black Pottery figure of the Scotty Dog.
40:49There we go.
40:50£20 for this one for the little Scotty Dog.
40:52£20.
40:53£10, anybody?
40:54£10.
40:55Five to go, then, if we must.
40:57£5, anybody?
40:58£5.
40:59Five is the bid.
41:00Six bid.
41:01Seven.
41:02Oh.
41:02Eight bid.
41:03Nine bid.
41:05Ten.
41:05Yeah!
41:08Ten is bid.
41:0912 anywhere.
41:10Are you all sure?
41:11At £10.
41:14Go on, we made it.
41:16£1.
41:17I am so pleased for you.
41:18A £10 hammer is a £1 profit.
41:20John, thanks to you.
41:21Minus 86 becomes minus 85.
41:2485.
41:25And who's to say it's not a winning score?
41:27Stranger things about it.
41:29I don't think it's a winning score.
41:36The world is waiting, teams.
41:38And I mean that.
41:39The world is desperate to know who has won today's bargain hunt.
41:44And one team lost loads and one team made a tiny sum,
41:48so our winners are the right!
41:55No, I don't think they did because they made £5.
41:58That's all they made.
42:00I will give you your money.
42:02I will let you hold it.
42:03I will let you play with it.
42:05But I will turn to our runners-up first.
42:08I'm not handing anything to you.
42:09You don't have to say how much.
42:10No, you lost £85.
42:12Yes!
42:13And you did it with style and somehow you laughed and smiled all the way through it.
42:18It's been great.
42:18We've had a lovely time.
42:19Yeah.
42:20Absolutely wonderful.
42:20Loved every minute.
42:21Thank you very much.
42:22I'm so pleased.
42:23Reds, you've done so well, relatively, because £5 today is a winning score.
42:29And what will you do with it?
42:31Are you going to invest it wisely?
42:33It's going on the wall.
42:34It's going on the wall?
42:35You're not even going to spend it, really?
42:37No.
42:38No photos, £5 note, on the wall.
42:40Oh, that's so lovely.
42:41I'm pleased that you had fun, team.
