Fabergé-link wine taster under hammer
A wine taster thought to have been made by coveted designer Fabergé is expected to fetch thousands when it goes under the hammer later this week, an auctioneer said.
The bejewelled 19th Century accessory is likely to attract interest from across the world.
But the woman who owns it originally asked auctioneer Jonathan Humbert, from Northamptonshire-based J P Humbert Auctioneers, if it was worth anything at all, he said.

It goes under the hammer at J P Humbert's saleroom in Towcester, Northants, on Friday.
