Antiques Road Trip

Irita and Mark travel to East Anglia to search for antiques across the area. In the region, Irita discovers some overlooked rare Hungarian porcelain, while Mark pursues his interest in mid‑century design, selecting pieces that suit his taste for his collection.

The programme follows Irita and Mark as they set off for East Anglia on a dedicated antiques‑hunting excursion. It’s presented as a single episode that tracks their joint quest to uncover hidden treasures among the region’s vintage shops and markets. Their partnership and complementary tastes drive the narrative forward throughout the visit. During the outing the pair split their attention between two distinct areas of interest. Irita’s eye is drawn to a collection of Hungarian porcelain that has largely escaped notice, while Mark pursues his own passion for pieces that exemplify mid‑century design. Their separate pursuits unfold side by side, offering viewers a glimpse of both rare ceramics and classic modern furnishings. Irita’s discovery centres on a handful of Hungarian porcelain items that are both rare and overlooked, highlighting her knack for spotting undervalued artefacts. The episode showcases her careful examination of the pieces, underscoring how such finds can slip past casual observers yet hold significant value for the discerning collector. Meanwhile, Mark indulges his affection for mid‑century design, seeking out examples that reflect the era’s characteristic style. His focus on this period’s aesthetic provides a counterpoint to Irita’s ceramic hunt, illustrating the breadth of antique interests that the duo brings to their East Anglian adventure.
