Huge auction sale for Chinese pot used as doorstop

The old pot had spent 40 years lying around on a dusty floor - being called into action as a doorstop. However, when its owner decided she needed to sell some of her belongings in order to buy a new car, she took the pot along to the auctioneers, just in case. The pot turned out to be a rare 18th century work - which sold for £150,000.

It's one of a number of incredible items people have had lying around at home.%VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
