My favourite Peice of pottery is flow blue, always finding it in my local bottle dumps. I just love how the patterns are so unpredictable as all the ink runs differently. Thanks for the information Richard. Happy Hunting! 🙂🌟
Richard! This was so cool 😎 thanks! My late husband and I owned and operated an excavation business. We had heavy digging equipment for repairing or installing utilities and infrastructure, etc. While digging around an old foundation of one of the Oberlin College buildings here in Ohio, US, he found an intact mineral water bottle. The building was probably about 200-250 years old. Often workers tossed such things into the foundation area before it was back filled. I never knew what it was and with the German name on it, I thought it was a beer bottle 😆. Now I know what it was. Thanks!! Your videos are such a gift. Thanks for generously sharing your knowledge with actual examples. Dendritically is one cool descriptive word, just sayin 👍🏼👍🏼
That was really interesting! Thank you for posting Richard. I have now identified numerous pieces of transfer print willow pattern shards that I found in a local field! Lovely to see a video from you again 👍
Good knowledge for searching thrift shops, flea markets & the like. Knowing different classes of pottery & having some dates makes sifting through piles of single piece Victorian pottery more manageable. Also, with this knowledge comes increased appreciation & enjoyment! Thank you for your tutorial! Kindly Dudley
Nice to see you again, Richard! I look forward to your Thames adventures in the future when you're able. Here in Ottawa, we in strict lockdown. Take care!
That's great information and very clear. I have an unusual square shaped stoneware bottle top, "Pullnaer Bitterwasser"...I know a bit more about it now thanks to your helpful video Richard.
Very informative and interesting! I really like the Scottish spongeware designs. My husband likes the ink wells especially those with visible fingerprints. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! :)
Richard, Thank you. Very comprehensive and fun! I am always impressed by your numerous travels and studies which has made your knowledge so valuable to all of us. Cheers, Rik Spector
Oh wow, Mr Hemery, that one with 1,000,000 on the top is fantastic. I’m always humbled by them all being hand thrown, just beautiful and so simple at the same time. Thanks for sharing your examples. Much appreciated. P.s “evidence of alien contact...” 😳 Very funny.
This is so informative. I’m going to share it with my colleagues at the estate sale company I work for. This week we have mid-19th century Brownfield & Sons transfer ware in the sale. The comparisons in this video will help clarify the differences with people not so interested in pottery. Thank you.
Hi Richard 😁 hope you are well, miss your videos, always so interesting, learned a lot. How about an overview of your garage treasures, I remember you ha lots, 🤓good wishes from a Michigan fan. 🥶🤗
I found a black (stoneware??) shred in a Victorian dump with one side highly glazed. It intrigues me as it’s so different to other things found there so I was wondering if it could possibly be from an earlier era? The grain (broken edge,) is very dark with some grainy inclusions also seen on one side while the other side looks as if it would have been very lustrous black glaze that has now taken a slightly iridescent hue 🤔
how do you remember all of the different types and age,s amazing will be passing some of your knowledge on to a fellow who interest is in the metal detectorist who would like some help identifying some pottery he has a found his name alexander von westenholz aka Holzhammer sagas i know he would appreciate your help best regards the jurasic dinosaur me sd :-)
@@richardhemery6916 no thank you for passing on information that would be lost and that a lot of the younger generation who would never have the chance to find out about the history that can be found on a foreshore or beneath there feet i know i have a very young grandchild who is fasinated by what treasures we find so thank you :-)
I so admire his knowledge.
Thank you
