Apologies if this appears more than once, this is the 3rd time I have tried posting this and nothing shows up, hopefully this does or I give up! :-)

Anyway can anybody shed some light on the images below? They were found on a dive in Southern Spain about 4 years ago and they have sat on my desk ever since, so I thought I would try and get some conclusion as to what they are...

I did some research a while ago and ships weight was one thought and the other item some kind of oil burner, I have some other bits from the same site, buttons, buckle and shards of pottery, but lets start here....hope you can help and any other information required just ask me, I am new at this :)

Presumed ships weight is 16cm high and 9.5cm at the base, very heavy with markings MTA and an infinity or number 8 marking. There is also a small stamp that looks like a figure with a walking stick and the other hand on hip?

Thanks and regards
KEVIN

I'm no expert but I believe it is Japanese export earthenware. Early 1700's :icon_thumright:
