What an interesting piece of pot! We couldn't resist trying to find out more! We felt that it was possible that this piece was from a cargo which sank en route. Alternatively, it may be a broken piece from some domestic setting or from a service used on board ship. We do have a few pieces from a shipwreck and I had to admit that this piece doesn't look to have the same amount of wear on it as those ones. The edges of those tend to be very rounded and any marks aren't as distinct. However, this was found close to an area which is renowned for shipwrecks, so anything is possible! |
