Nicky makes a dove using some of my sherds - here's how.
มุมมอง 1.4K4 ปีที่แล้ว
I let my wife have some of my (carefully checked) pottery sherds and she makes a lovely dove from them. The dove is made from Das air dry clay. The sherds are glued on with Gorilla wood glue. The grout is standard bathroom. Finish the piece by sanding the edges with fine sandpaper and tying a ribbon.

    What makes a pipkin a pipkin? lots of items on three feet with hollow handles. Why is it called a pipkin? does it have something to do with the pipe shaped handle? or is it more to do with the name of the maker, a man with the last name of Pipkin? I'm a potter making 17th c reproductions. I can't seem to get a good answer for this- any help is appreciated- thank you so much for your video.

      To be honest, I don't know where the name came from. But it is generally used in the UK for these spouted vessels, not all with feet.

    That was as brilliant as it was informative and entertaining! I would have lost money,if I had made a bet on what the letter ‘B’ would be. I suppose a Bartman would have been too obvious… My favorite was that otherwise unremarkable ginger beer,made mindblowingly profound by that one millionth commemoration mark! Please tell me you found that in the mud or bottle tip. Also,lastly,what do you know about color changing glazes? A newer innovation,I would think. I have a little crab that turns from brown to gold when I pour hot water on it!

    Great to see this and Richard! I have a very old jug and plate, cream coloured with blue and white transfers on them, it's also very thick! No makers mark on either piece I bought them at auction in 1989, they were in a cardboard box full of stuff no-one else wanted, I paid a whole £1!! There was also two tiny, silver pots, Salts or mustard I'm never sure one was complete with a colbolt blue glass insert and the smallest spoon I've ever seen! Anyway, I digress! Sorry back to my pottery;! Could I send you a photo of them, I just know you're the one person that could tell me about them. I have a feeling the jug is tableware and not a water ewer used for morning ablutions! The plate is oval so I think it's a serving platter of some sort. I'd really like to put an age to it I think it could be either early Victorian or possibly end of the 18th century. I hope you'll be able to help me. I've struggled to find any info on them! Happy New Year to you and your family. Chez in Lliria Valencia Spain

    That was fantastic. I’ve got a lot off the beach in Chichester harbour which is very old and Bosham . A lot I think is medieval but maybe Roman. It’s not easy identifying sherds. Some of mine has a rim and has part of the glaze inside.

    • @richardhemery6916
      @richardhemery6916 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you have glazed pottery it will not be Roman, so medieval or post medieval are more likely. Given the status of Chichester in the Roman period there must be some Roman lurking there!
