Mudlarking 97 - chemists and mouflet
Mar. 6th, 2026 06:34 pmA Friday evening on the foreshore and I found:
Express Dairies pottery sherds and glass
Two French pieces, to prepare me for an upcoming trip:
A piece of a small House of Worth perfume bottle. It says Worth on the side and Paris on the bottom.
A sherd that says “mouflet”, which apparently means kid.
Part of a Lewis & Burrows Chemist bottle. They formed in 1895 as an amalgamation of different pharmacies.
Part of a Boots Chemist bottle. The style matches Boots bottles from 1910s/1920s.
A coin! Except it is actually just the foil from a chocolate coin. So close.
Gray & Son
OXO mug sherd
Hotel Ware - possibly Grindley Hotel Ware. I remember I found a piece previously that said Grind on it, which was also probably Grindley.
Aerated Bread Company (ABC) sherds
