No Clue What It Is: Found at the Beach

[coinman123]

I was at the beach a year or two ago and saw this on the rocks. I grabbed it and brought it home. I threw it in my garden for until this fall when I just put it in a potted palm tree's ceramic pot as a decoration, I make jokes telling people it is from a shipwreck when they ask. It is made out of glazed ceramic, that is all I know. Any ideas of what it is off of and how old it is?




Thanks for the help, Coinman123

LOL, I thought I found some old antique ceramic jar and it turns out it is a sewer pipe. Oh well, Still kind of cool. What time frame?

Looks like terra cotta drain pipe. Was in use until about 30 years ago? Tony

I dug up 90 feet of that crap a few years ago. My house was built in 1925, now I got the 4 inch PVC pipe leading to the street. The old terracotta pipe was all root-bound, always clogging the toilet..,..glad that's over with.

Ugh, I hate that stuff, we had to dig out 60 feet of it under my boss's house in a 2 1/2 foot tall crawlspace (I'm 6 foot 2)... no fun....

I replaced some of that drain pipe at an old lodge and we just crushed it and laid new pipe over the old. I also hate that stuff.

Still used almost exclusively in California today for house services and street mains...
