A teapot that holds 144 cups of tea, a gruesome 18th-century mourning ring, a rare Hungarian vase, a painting of Britannia too large to be accommodated in a house and a home-made device for clearing incendiaries in the Second World War are among an eclectic range of heirlooms and acquired valuables brought to the attention of Michael Aspel and his team of experts in Newport, Gwent.
