Hey Alexander,
I thought that it was a fun "stuff from the attic" story and £ 50,000 still is a score for something tucked away in a box, all but forgotten. Should have taken a shot with a higher profile auction house, but that's not always easy to do. Thanks for the results.

His hopes were a bit too high: the cup sold for £ 50,000.
Scroll down to lot 378.
Similarly the other two pieces, which both sold at 50% of the prices mentioned in the article.
Kind regards,
Alexander
