Woman paid £1 for vase, used it as plant pot; it later sold for £32,450

In 2008, a woman bought a glass vase for just £1 at a car-boot sale in Dumfries, Scotland, and used it as a plant pot.

She later discovered it was a rare 1929 creation by French designer René Lalique.

After experts valued it at £25,000 on Antiques Roadshow, the vase sold at Christie’s in London for £32,450.
