Thanks to Brian, one of my followers on Instagram, I now know this shard came from a German Rareren jug made c.1596 by the prolific potter Ian Emens Mennicken. The applied relief eight local aristocratic coats of arms and an inscription, see comments for translation

Mudlarks!! The carce equivalent to pigeons, if pigeons were a mixture of pelican and snapping turtle, shin height, and ready to kill a man at all times. This piece was funded by an anon on kofi, who officially owns my heart. 💝

Political token mimicking a commercial token inviting the holder to redeem it at Newgate jail where the 4 named men were held for sedition for publishing a book on the rights or ordinary citizens. Found on my 1st visit back to the foreshore after Lockdown 1 last year

These are 18th century clay wig curlers, some broken, all found on the Thames foreshore. Did you know they set the curls in hair by wrapping it around these curlers then baking it in a pastry crust. Ingenious!

Found just before lockdown and banishment from the foreshore, this ithe 13 thimble I've found on the Thames and the oldest. It's a beautiful little medieval acorn or beehive thimble and it dates from around the 14th century.

My muddy buddy Clay is a wizz at restoring river shoes. He thinks this one is 18th century. It apears to have been damaged before it was lost or discarded in the river since the right latchet appears to have been sliced off, perhaps to remove/reuse the buckle

Sometimes it's the tiniest of objects that tell the greatest stories. This piece of roof tile is twisted and vitrified. I picked it up close to where Pepys sat in a boat 353 years ago watching London burn. More about the Great Fire on my Insta & FB Pages

Another gift from the Thames! found this beautiful Tudor lace end or aglet a few years ago while mudlarking. You can see how they were worn in the 16thC in these portraits. Hear about some other fab finds in the latest Ep. of https://t.co/lzXGGuyknB

I’ve found well over a thousand clay pipes on the foreshore, but contrary to popular believe they were not thrown away after one smoke. Although they were cheap, they still had value and were used until they were too short for a ‘cool smoke’.
