In 2008, a woman bought a glass vase for just £1 at a car-boot sale in Dumfries, Scotland. She used it as a plant pot without realising its worth. Later she learned it was a rare 1929 piece by French designer René Lalique. Experts valued it at £25,000 on the BBC programme Antiques Roadshow. The vase was subsequently sold at Christie's in London for £32,450.
