£8125 - Louis XV plate.
One woman's lifetime collection of French porcelain that filled 'every nook and cranny' of her modest home sold for £373,000 yesterday, over £125,000 over estimate.
The late Judith Howard's passion for 18th century gallic ceramics saw the walls, shelves and display cabinets adorned with hundreds of plates, dishes and bowls.
She was well known for having an eye for a bargain, so much so that a 250-year-old plate she bought for £13 at an antiques shop sold for £31,000.
The item was once part of the 1,735 dinner service set made for French King Louis XV and housed in the Palace of Versailles.
