I'm a London mudlark, that is, I search the foreshore of the River Thames at low tide for old finds. I have a particular love of old pottery, so I'm putting together some videos on aspects of ceramic history, illustrated with my finds from London.

Originally a daily series on Instagram, I choose a piece of pottery to illustrate and explain from every letter of the alphabet.

My muddiest adventure yet! And a huge Roman pottery haul!

A trip out with the Mudpies - have a look at their video too. Rising sea levels have left Roman remains buried in the muddy Medway estuary, where only the fearless can find them! Please don't try this without pattens, a phone, a friend and a good knowledge of the tides. The Mudpies channel is Mudpies on TH-cam, follow them on Instagram @themudpies.

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.

Very useful, thank you.
Really useful, and very interesting. Thank you Richard
Thank you
Hey. Here from denmark. VERY informative to me, Nice calm athmosphere, well made, good for the eye. Sorry for poor danish - english. Keeper on your sharp videoes. Tom😮😊
Thank you Tom for the kind comments.
Saintonge isn't Bordeaux, it is the region around Saintes.
Thank you!
Νice stuff! But shouldn't these things be in a museum? I give all ancient finds I make in Greece to the local museum.
I offered, but they are stuffed with similar things, and refused.
@@richardhemery6916 Yes, the legislation in Greece is different as you don't have the right to possess any antiquities at home and the museums are obligated to preserve them by law. The legislation is strict because plundering of national antiquities has a long history there.
@@petrapetrakoliou8979 yes, I'm thinking of the British Museum...
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.
Very helpful, difficult to find much information on Medieval tiles
thank you
Do you ID pottery? I have a piece that even stumped Antiques Roadshow. It looks European and very old.
I'm happy to have a look. Message me on richardhemery@tiscali.co.uk or on Instagram thames_pottery
Do people use pipkin in the 1800s
Yes, but mostly they were without feet, as people were using ranges not open fires.
I think is not a bedpan i think is a skillet

Is there anything that you don’t know about pottery?!!! Glad to see you back.x
Plenty, thank you.
Great video. Very nice to have some humour sprinkled in throughout
Thank you Mr. Hemery for today’s video. A great explanation of the pottery history for many centuries. Good to see you again. All the best, Sir! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thank you!
Great educational course on pottery thank you
Thanks!
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!
Thank you!
Welcome back, Professor.
Thank you, Tobias!
What a cool overview! Love how this was structured.
Good to see you, Dr Hemery!, you're looking very natty in ar brass-buttoned coat. This was so fun, seeing some of your collection and learning, thank you!
thank you!
I wonder if engine turning could be mistaken for clay pigeon shards/sherds? Wonderful video😊
Yes, and Roman sherds as well, same colour!
Lovely description. I find alot of the jug handles with holes in them. Slash marks etc.
Lovely to be able to watch the whole Alphabet in one! Marital harmony is maintained. 😂
Beautiful
Excellent !!!
Wonderful jacket. Your wit is appreciated. The ginger beer ceramic was my favorite. Love to go antique shopping with you sometime, as you discuss the pottery for sale.
Thank you…wonderfully informative!!
Tile with a tit brick with a boob 😂 love your vids Richard ❤
Thank you Richard for this series. So informative and fun. Loved every day of it. Hope you do more. Happy New Year 🎊
Really interesting& entertaining. Thank you , look forward to more from you soon
The G is for great video and the T is for thank you! And maybe the H is for horizontal filming the next time?
Yes, originally this was filmed for Instagram so the mobile phone format was best.
Keep up your good work... we need to see more to learn more...PLEASE keep showing your knowledge ...
thank you!
Great to see a new video from you Richard! This was fantastic.
I’m thrilled to see you. Many thanks
Miss seeing you, Richard. Loved the video.
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
Yes, of course, send me some photos at richardhemery@tiscali.co.uk
Richard very kindly looked at some sherds I had, he was very helpful

Fun episode!
Brilliant, I really enjoyed this. Thank you. P.s I like your jacket ❤
thank you!
I very much enjoyed this collaboration of good people displaying their favorite finds. It takes diligence and hard work to hunt for, find, and then identify historic artifacts. Thanks to All for what you do. Greetings from Chicagoland U.S.
Lovely video. What I would give for a day on the Thames foreshore again!

Thank you Peter!
Thank you Richard! So medieval pottery will be included in my pottery party tonight! Peter Singh
Great to hear!
Thank you Richard. Interesting and informative … very useful.
thank you
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.
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!
Thank you so much Richard 💙
Richard im going through my pottery at the moment. Can Delftware have glaze on both sides, i have many pieces of blue and white that could possibly by Delftware but they are also glazed, tin glazed on the underneath
