You're not pitching it hard enough; you need a bit of patter, but can't misrepresent.

It would be er, legitimate to describe, in addition to provenance, how the vessel was possibly, (the operative word) possibly caressed by the very lips of one of Gaddafi's virgin female bodyguards:



Include a snap and Bob's your uncle. I saw it on Antiques Roadshow.

Oh, and, err, Ten Guineas.

Given it probably comes from a 5,000-piece set, might the reserve be a tad high?

Still a tiny little bit too little, Smudge.

But thanks for the bid anyway.

That's a nice one, CC.

£5.....I'll even youtube a video of me blasting it to pieces with my shotgun.

I don't mind handling stolen goods in this instance. I have a flexible morality, which comes in very handy at times.

It's still me at ten Guineas, I believe?

PRT could you get a photo of the base of the cup/saucer for the markings? A grand is a touch steep unless it has something more to prove provenance...

On another note, when the old boot finally resettles in an overly luxurious bolthole in South America - do pass on my details, he clearly is in need of an interior designer with half an ounce of taste....

Ten Guineas and five Rooibos Tea bags.

I'm afraid we still haven't met the reserve yet.
