Tiny vase bought for £20 is worth £10,000
A tiny vase which is only 8cm tall and was bought for just £20 has been identified as a rare £10,000 gem.
The Royal Worcester vase was on display in a pensioners china cabinet for over 20 years without her ever knowing it's true value.
She had bought the item - which is decorated in an Oriental style - for £20 at an antiques shop in the West Country.
It was only after her death when her family were clearing her house that experts were called in and spotted the vase, which is one of the first examples of English porcelain.
The Royal Worcester pot, which dates back to 1754, is now due to go on sale at Dukes Auctioneers, of Dorchester on February 5th.
