Trash Pit Pottery Restoration

[itzyoboyandrew]

So about a year ago i found a small trash pit with 10 intact bottles dating from 1880s-1930s.. (there was also alot of pottery i didnt keep) And recently i saw where someone pieced back together the olive jar, so i got inspired. I remembered i had found pieces of a big dish, so over the last 2 days ive re-dug the trash pit (its in our own yard) to repiece together the pottery!

So far ive gotten:
-Most of a Tycer Pottery Company pie dish mostly put back together (probably from the 1930s)
-A white tea cup (not sure on age) havent glued it back together yet, but i know where it fits.
-Probably my most favorites, 4 pieces to a very oriental hand painted tea cup.. 2 of the pieces fit together, its got gold paint on it... Its somewhat faded in spots but probably my favorite of the dishes (sadly i dont have alot of the pieces to it... but i havent finished re-excavating so we will see)
- And finally a "Trade Mark XXX Prudentials Condensed Milk New York" bottle... missing parts of the bottom, but im still keeping it being its my first milk bottle thats (mostly) intact... Any help on age/company would be appreciated./

This is very cool.
Do people successfully put together broken bottles, pottery, crocks etc.??

Very nice that you are able to do that. I hunt a lot of fields where the pottery gets broken up and strewn around from the plows. Never seem to find enough of one item to be able to put it back together. You really are "piecing" history back together !

Great job! Keep looking-you will find more of the pieces. Be careful-restoring pottery and glass can be addictive
