squirmeliaOn Valentine’s Day, the Thames gave me a curious bouquet. Sherds with flowers and other plants on:
More finds, including some with bits of words:
A sherd that looks like it says “James”, but I’m not sure
A sherd that looks to say “grind”
A sherd with “dge”
A shard of glass that looks to have “chy” on it.
And also:
Some Express Dairies Aster
A colourful Carter, Stabler & Adams sherd. This colourful piece would have been from between 1925 - 1934 and was made by Carter, Stabler & Adams in Poole, Dorset.
I haven’t found an exact match for the pattern but I imagine it could have been something like this: https://20decoarts.com/carter-stabler-adams-poole-pottery-art-deco-bowl.html
(You need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)
