Beach Pottery Photos (Click on photos to zoom)
	Like the ones pictured here, ceramic shards and pottery shards are among the variety of interesting items one finds while beachcombing or adding to one's sea glass collection.
Most "beachcombers" we have met are delighted to find old and possibly ancient shards in the course of collecting sea glass, seashells, rocks, and driftwood.

	Earthenware shards and ceramic shards are especially interesting when they have visible designs or colors on at least one surface. Many times the colors are quite unusual and especially seem to compliment each other when grouped together.
Shardsmay be identified generally as to how old they are by certain features, ie, material used, firing methods, and shapes. However, even that is not exact. When you only have a worn shard, it significantly increases the difficulty.
	However, If you find a piece with a signature, trademark, or seal, on the other hand, more precise identification becomes possible. So much pottery has been produced over the ages in all parts of the world, that a lot of information still needs to be gathered.

Precious metals are also another beautiful collectable. Precious metals such as tungsten also make beautiful jewelry. Show off your earthy style with a gorgeous sea glass pendant and beautiful tungsten rings.

Where do you find pottery shards? You can find beach pottery and shards on the same kinds of beaches where sea glass is found. To see the characteristics of beaches were sea glass and beach pottery can be found, go to Finding a Sea Glass Beach.
