Bloke pays £15 for broken teapot with missing lid

Hardly a pour investment.

You just never know - Indeed!

Come on for goodness sake, how the fook is that worth that sort of money - what as load of bollocks the art and antiques world is, an industry preying on stupid rich people with more money than sense - when the **** hits the fan what the fook good is a tea pot !

Afterthought - worth is simply what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller.  In this case, the Americans will always pay "top dollar" (see what I did there!) for important bits of their history, and this piece is just that. Hth

My older brother loves rooting around old curiosity shops and he bought a German stein mug in Weybridge for a score and sold it for a grand on ebay. Not a bad days wages.

The same can often be said about the racehorse breeding industry.

Tbf though, according to some reports, the teapot only fetched £460k.
