This is a 'yixing clay' teapot. My wife is Chinese and we have two of them. They are highly collectable in China and are commonly given as gifts, either to friends or family, or as corporate gifts. Even the cheapest, basic, modern ones sell for the equivalent of £100. Older, elaborate examples can easily fetch £1,000. They have been exported to Europe since at least the seventeenth century. Look out for them if you can - they are red/purple in colour and are unglazed. If it's less than £100 you're guaranteed a bargain!

[@Tricia_K]

Genuinely interesting - thanks! :)

[@LateNightVapeShow1]

A gem in the comments.

[@debbiethomas3687]

The first one I ever bought of these is the same shape as this one but has a dragon tail handle and a dragon head knob with a mobile tongue, and 3 matching cups and saucers. I also have one that is shaped as a tree stump, although I think that one is quite modern, and several others.

[@philtucker1224]

If they are unglazed do they still hold the tea?

[@mroberts2281]

Con man bet you aren't even welsh

[@J4M3ST1T3]

It's normally the other way around with Bargain Hunt, bought for £500 sells for£30.

[@oddities-whatnot]

I often think that the so called "experts" that are put with each team to assist them, are deliberately telling them to get certain items, knowing they wont make much so as to save the TV company a load of money. They wouldn't be experts if they couldn't spot a profit ! Its all a con in my opinion.

Antique dealers used to make money from buying stuff from people who didn’t know what they had. Basically conning them. Most people have access to the internet now tho so it’s harder for these experts to make money.

That pot is stunning tbh. Can’t wait for the watch mojo top 10 pots.

What is stunning about it? It is not made of china and the paintjob..? Applied by a blind person... For 500, you get the finest quality real hand painted china. Who are these people?!

[@jbiel3617]

Watchmojo’s top 10s these days are oddly specific because they’ve run out of ideas. They’d end up making many videos about pots instead, such as ‘top 10 Chinese clay teapots on the show bargain hunt’ and ‘top ten pots OF ALL TIME’

[@Baerchenization]

Well this was a nice surprise - thanks for posting BargainHunt Fan. I directed this episode and watching this clip brought back many happy memories of working on Bargain Hunt - especially this particular day with these lovely ladies and Charlie Ross, who was a delight. Happy days...

did he say the winning bid was "all the way from China"? Have we come full circle selling chinese copies back to the chinese at over inflated prices? :D :D

@Winston Craig That's a delicacy over there.

[@margaretsanders-to5kf]

The Chinese are buying back their exports. They lost so much of their treasures during the cultural revolution.

Why did I sell it for £30, If anybody is interested I have a Ming vase you can have for £60

[@soSAMuksUKslotchannel]

Wow! That’s a lot for this show

[@DarkHelixia]

Yixing teapots can sell for a lot of money depending on the master (if hand crafted) and the clay used; these are often 'aged' for years. Not sure about the one for sale, as the elaborate decoration seems over the top - typically the high quality ones look fairly non-descript, perhaps with a little design etched into the side (in general you want the pot to be consistent in thickness for optimum brewing). I have quite a few for different teas and these range from £100-400.

[@jameskilling9223]

They have had contestants friends make bibs on this show before.

[@DJ_Intrusion]

Clicked on the video thinking it was gunna be the Bargain Hunt version of the infamous Lesser Watch on Only Fools & Horses... £520 lol turns out i was sadly mistaken😂

[@anneominous7172]

It all comes down to being at the right auction house with the right amount of online reach. This right here is all well and good for a TV show but if you have something you think is really worth something it's worth spending the money and the time to get it appraised and in a decent auction house. £43 million at auction - because it was auctioned properly. Might have gotten 10k for it at one of these small auction houses on a mediocre day WITH online advertisement.
