Its owner hopes that it'll make some money at auction. But will all her dreams go up in smoke? Master of ceramics Roger Hawkins plans to revive a pair of early 20th century vases with huge sentimental value. But before he can do anything else he has to undo the damage done by an earlier attempt at restoration.
