Woman Buys Rare Picasso Plates For $1.99
Nancy Cavaliere, a woman who loves shopping at thrift shops, found four amazing plates for only $1.99 each. These plates were made by the world-famous artist, Pablo Picasso, in the late 1940s.
Nancy shared her discovery on TikTok. She told everyone how she learned that Picasso had made ceramics too. She searched online to learn more about the plates and she couldn’t believe what she found. She said, “I googled this set… and saw how much they were worth and almost cried, passed out, pissed on myself,”
Nancy chose to sell three of them and kept one for herself. The three plates were sold at auction in NYC for between $12,000 and $16,000 each.
