Did you know that sea pottery, or sea china, was a thing? I didn’t!
Sea pottery is shards of broken earthenware that has undergone the same process as sea glass: broken, tumbled, smoothed and spit back into the shell hash with the tides. When I first started beachcombing, I didn’t know pottery was really something I should be collecting. In fact, I tossed back several pieces of white china that I found along the beach. What a rookie, huh?
This little guy was a shard that I found on Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. I distinctly remember finding a few other similar pieces but I’m not sure I safely escorted them back and into the collection! Perhaps they are still lost in jacket pockets or backpack hideaways :-).
