I love the designs on the Pottery Shards in your area. We just don't see anything that elaborate around here.

I bet you are glad you saved it. The stuff is heavy isnt it? I think they must have held ancient art festivals on your site. Nice looking shards or is it sherds? They will look nice in a pottery frame. Thanks for sharing Mr. Larson!

Yep I have checked in the past to see if I was spelling it wrong. My auto correct says the proper spelling is "shard".
