King Charles II mug bought at flea market for few pounds sells for £12K
Antiques Trade Gazette first reportedThe mug was sent for testing in a bid to authenticate its age, but the results proved inconclusive.Auctioneer Louise Gostelow, who sold the mug, said: "Quite early on there was a lot of interest, but you just don't know.
"You don't see many of them and if the provenance could be verified, it could have sold for up to £70,000." The guide price was between £1,000 and £2,000, but two eager telephone bidders pushed the sale to £12,000 plus auction house fees. Ms Gostelow said it was a "topical and quite quirky thing" with the coronation of King Charles III due this year.
The couple who found the mug, who wished to remain anonymous, were "very happy" with the sale price, she confirmed.
