Sea Glass, Bottles and a Piece of a USN wardroom China.

[RatherBeDigging]

Planed this a month ago for the super negative. Bottles are a slick coke no idea on age yet, a slick cork flask and what I think is a Heinz product bottle. All will go in bleach and water and we'll find out if I'm right about the Heinz. That's my first glass bowl out here. Highlight of sea glass is the cornflower blue and the USN Officer's Wardroom China shard. Believe it's a piece of Shenago. Age? Well they used it up to Vietnam so I have no idea. Maybe someone on here knows?

Interesting finds, you never know what you'll spot when you do a beach or creek walk.
I'll bring home any pottery with a unique design on it from a field hunt.

This is unique obviously naval, I wonder how old it is?

Seems the cobalt fouled anchor pattern is for wardroom officers mess ( lieutenant, lieutenant commander and commander ). Unfortunately no markings on the base of my due to the way it broke. Likely ww2 to Vietnam era.

Great info Dante, thanks for sharing this.
You can also tell a lot about the age of porcelain frags by the crazing of the glaze, the clay used, the transfer print of the anchor and the colour of the decoration.

Best of luck to you out there,
Dave

Thank you. Research I'm good at whether identifying a find or finding a new spot to detect. Finding like 4 hours to actually hunt the places I find well that's the hard part. Bottles are in their bath for the week. Will post an updated picture.
