A Jersey Pottery espresso set from the 1970s has been found in a local charity shop with a bargain price tag.
Bargain enthusiast Fiona Walker set up social media pages under the name 'Upstylejersey24' to showcase interesting items she has found, and encourage Islanders to do their own digging for treasure to support good causes.
Express is partnering with Fiona to showcase her favourite bargains each week.
This week’s top find was a Jersey Pottery espresso set found at a pop-up shop in Reg's Garden.
Pictured: The set comes with eight matching cups and saucers and a water jug
Fiona said: "I stumbled across this original Jersey Pottery coffee set in Reg’s Garden – eight cups and saucers and a jug, all in perfect condition – for an incredible £15".
A similar espresso set from the same period was found for sale online for over £60.

Jersey Pottery was founded as a ceramics studio in Gorey Village in 1946 and closed its doors in 2010 after sales declined.
The manufacturing moved to the UK but also stopped after the pandemic.
Now focusing on filling plates rather than making them, the re-named company JPRestaurants serves islanders at multiple venues: Banjo, Jersey Crab Shack, Café Ubé and Oyster Box.
Reg's Garden's pop-up shop is currently raising money for CLIC Sargent Jersey, which supports local children and teenagers with cancer and their families.
You can make a donation to the charity HERE, or visit the pop-up shop at the location below.
