I'm sure you will take anything you find of note down the Finds Officer at the Museum of London and yes perhaps we'll meet up down on the Thames, you are certainly managing to go more frequently than I am!

I am so glad to be able to use your blog as a reference guide. I'm new to the mudlarking hobby, but have scoured the foreshore about 8 times in the last 6 weeks, collecting nearly a thousand pieces of porcelain , hundreds off pottery shards, a bunch of clay pipes, various bottle pieces, glass remnants , some odd metal shapes, nails, and more. As an American living in the USA, I come to London about 5 times a month. Crazy me has even planned my trips according to the tide chart. I'm thinking of starting a blog of my own, encouraged by your blog and awesome info. See you on the foreshore!!

As you have probably gathered I am really no expert and just try and use the net to track down what the fragments I have found might have come from. From the little I know, the jug will either be German or from London. If it's German the best way I've found of identifying a bit more about it, is from the Museum of London's database, loads of pictures & details which are easy to flick through http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/ceramics/pages/subsubcategory.asp?subsubcat_id=837&subsubcat_name=Frechen&cat_id=714<br /><br />If it's from London try same database here is the URL <br />http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/ceramics/pages/subsubcategory.asp?subsubcat_id=716&subsubcat_name=Fulham&page=3<br />Whilst I'd be very happy to look at a photo I'm wouldn't be doing anything more than looking through these databases. I'm sure the local Museums will also be able to help you + very interested in your find!

I was hooked on mudlarking during a February visit in 2011, dreamed about it till I could return this summer (during the Olympics.........probably one of the few people here but not for that...). Every entry of your blog has brought back memories--I love that you are interested in ceramics. I had no idea what I was looking at in 2011. But I went to the V&A museum, where the entire top floor is ceramics, and was able to place the shards in context. <br />Keep going!!!! <br /><br />Carolyn Hahn, NYCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6537350948151927223.post-72691057850957124162012-08-22T21:00:01.517+01:002012-08-22T21:00:01.517+01:00Hi Julia,

I like the combination of the pictures of your foreshore finds and complete museum artefacts. It’s fascinating to read your descriptions and the historical background info. Unlike most mudlarks who are interested primarily in coins, pilgrim badges and metallic objects, I like the fact that you are interested in ceramics and other ordinary objects found on the foreshore. I look forward to reading more. See you on the foreshore! <br />Cheers, <br />Jason<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
