You don't just find this stuff for yourself, you find it so everyone can learn from it, says Mr Russell.

Perhaps someone can explain the purpose of a cup with a hemispheric bottom.

Rather difficult to set down on a flat surface...

Wikipedia:

"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."

The Brits were mystified by the ancient Roman hieroglyphics they discovered on the cup.

As a retired auctioneer, the first thing that popped into my beady little mind was Mocha ware, without any paint or applied decoration.

It’s a darker shade than mocha ware wee see nowadays. But that fancy applied fluting around the rim is MORE elegant than any I see nowadays. That is a significant find.
