Series 71: Wetherby 17

Natasha Raskin Sharp is in West Yorkshire, where she learns about the different ways broken ceramic items can be given a new lease of life. She meets restoration expert Kate Smith, who explains the difference between a museum repair and the Japanese kintsugi method, which makes a feature of the breakage to celebrate the item’s history. \n\nMeanwhile, the teams are hoping to make record-breaking profits as they browse the stalls at Wetherby Racecourse. On the red team are friends Nicola and Elizabeth, who both work in the wedding industry. They’re tempted to splash out on a miniature ship in a bottle, but expert Roo Irvine thinks it’s old-fashioned and would sink without trace at auction. Partners Terry and Glenn on the blue team are guided by expert David Harper. Early in their shop, all three of them are drawn to an owl-shaped, pewter pounce pot but can’t decide if it would fly with the bidders. \n \nOver at the auction in Beverley, Caroline Hawley is on the rostrum – but which team will make the most profit and come out on top?
