Now, I've got this lovely piece of Fegg Hayes...

Will you try to find out for me what this Budgie Jug might be worth? It was made in Fegg Hayes, possibly as early as 1974, only I can't read the mark on the bottom, what with my eyes. Can you see what that says? It looks like 'Dave' to me, and if it's made by Dave, that means it's worth more than any of the other ones, because Dave once met Clarice Cliff at a finger buffet in Uttoxeter in 1958 and they discussed the use of turquoise pigments, it says in my Miller Antiques Guide. So this could be from Dave's Turquoise period, in which case, it's probably worth £75. I only paid £68 for it at auction, and I could see that this other woman really wanted it, but she normally only likes Gaudy Welsh, so I knew I'd beat her in the end. See if there's anything like it on Ebay, go on. No, I can't possibly go on Ebay now. My feet are killing me...

  1. I've tweeted about the budgie jug though, obviously. I think don't let it go for anything less than £75.
