From my fossicking trips to the breached seawall I now have four traditional Shippam's Paste jars- all different sizes and styles, a few bits of tile and some shiny broken bits. Its quite addictive turning over the seaweed and mud with the toe of a welly to see what turns up ( I must stress I don't excavate for these)and @wakelys and I are always safe and follow lockdown rules!!
To see that medicine bottle in all its glory pop over to thedarkroom and let me know if I should keep it or not!!
Nice finds, the paste jars are such lovely shapes and they look so tactile. I think I'd only keep the intact pieces - but that's just me thinking about stuff that I should get rid of 😂
Interesting finds. Do these have a bit of age on them? Do have an sense of whether they've been pitched off a ship or thrown in the water from the land?
Thanks for follow. Will follow ypu to.
Well done!!.
