That is beautiful, it looks like it was made yesterday!

‘ave a cup of tea, mate. It would be nice if he could keep it. It is beautiful and a good convo starter.

Well-preserved by the mud and sediment.
I want to be a mudlarker.
It’s interesting. There are tons and tons of Roman and other objects from antiquity that should be cheap and easy to replicate and mass produce today, that are vastly superior, aesthetically, to what one will find in a modern housewares store.
Heck, the LA County museum has piles of pre-Columbian things that would, in a modern form, sell out in minutes.
Rather difficult to set down on a flat surface...
Valid permit my ass. You open the unlocked gate and you walk down the stairs.
Maybe at one time you needed a “valid permit”, but no cop said anything to anybody when we were there a few months ago. There was even a guy hand feeding swans and nope.
Picking through nastiness is not my idea of a good time so I did not partake, but the scum they were picking through was better than 90% of the “art” in the Tate modern.
I believe that shape was useful for parties or drinking contests or such events. You can’t put your cup down. You have to drink the contents to get if off your hands, so to speak.
A rounded bottom container like that is set into a nest shaped basket.
Wow. Amazing condition.
"A mudlark is someone who scavenges in river mud for items of value, a term used especially to describe those who scavenged this way in London during the late 18th and 19th centuries."
Yeah, the cheaper local knockoff made it through, bravo! :^)
Wow! Amazing!
It looks as if on the very bottom it is cut off flat. Am I wrong??
I cannot tell from the pic.
