Bargain Hunt has already featured on the WGP Spotted posts twice (see here and here). This latest episode was broadcast on the 12th January 2012. You can see the episode for a limited time of the BBC iPlayer.

The episode was based in Gloucester Docks Antiques Centre. Interestingly we have recently visited the antiques centre and spotted all the West German pottery (we featured it here on the littleowlski blog).

The contestants bought a West German Wall hanging of a brightly glazed butterfly for £20. It was made by Carstens, who also manufactured other similar plaques depicting fish and parrots.

Unfortunately the auction sale was held in a country auction house and the item struggled, selling for just £5, making the team a £15 loss.
