Mudlarking again today. I was hoping to find some more coloured pieces, and bribed my son with the promise of sushi for lunch if he came to help me. He's very good at finding stuff.
When we got to the shore, there was a class of school children already there, busily picking up everything in sight, and when they left - another school trip turned up...
Oh well. We still managed to find a few good bits - here are my favourites:
* I have done a little research into the bottle base, and it seems likely to be a Gordon's Gin bottle, from 1926, with their boar's head logo. Some more information about the logo can be found
here.

| Gordon's Gin boar head bottle base - possible dating: 1926 |
 |
| Westerwald in the middle there, some Mocha Ware on the right |
 |
| Marbled pieces - I love these but have never used them in my designs |
 |
| Shiny things! A piece of mother-of-pearl and some iridescent glass |
 |
| Quatrefoil patterned pieces which are not common - I see a pair of earrings.... |
 |
| Delftware with half a face, a pink house and a crowned 'B' |
I always love to see what you find!
ReplyDeleteTania,

Good to see you have been out mudlarking again! Julia
ReplyDeleteHi... i went 'larking today and came across a boar's head piece of glass, and a patterned sherd like your quatrefoil example. Did you find them between the Millenium Bridge and Queenehithe? I'll post my pieces on my blog shortly. Cheers, Shane
ReplyDeleteHi I am thrilled to find your blog. I am in South Africa and was excited to find a clear glass bottle bottom on Sunday 25th April 2021.
