BBC Antiques Roadshow viewers horrified by Margaret Thatcher teapot and it was worth a surprising amount
Fans of the Antiques Roadshow were taken aback by the sight of a Margaret Thatcher teapot on Sunday evening's episode. Viewers settling down to enjoy the long-running valuation show made suggestions after someone took their teapot along to be valued.
It came with a similar teapot of the late American president Ronald Reagan. Reagan served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989 and Thatcher was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990. Dubbed the 'Iron Lady' she was the first female British prime minister, the longest-serving British prime minister of the 20th century and a controversial political figure.
The white china teapot was fashioned into a caricature of the late PM, based on her terrifying Spitting Image puppet from the 1980s satirical comedy, with the teapot spout protruding out of her nose. The owner was asked: "Were you a Thatcherite or a Reaganite or neither?" He added: "We forget that Spitting Image, poking fun at all these powerful figures, was of course quite shocking." Watching the valuation at home fans had a strong reaction as they took to Twitter.
