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. |
| Shards may
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. |
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.

Many happy memories swirled back into my mind when I saw your pictures. I spent my childhood on the beaches of Cape Cod and we spent many happy hours looking for sea glass.”

Love your sea glass web site. I enjoy your picture of the month and intend on winning at least once.

Thank you for sharing your treasures with me.” Yours truly,

“Just wanted to let you know (since you were so helpful) that I won a blue ribbon (1st place) in Gifford Middle School Science Fair in the category of Environmental Science with my topic - Effect of a Florida Tidal Inlet on Wrack Line Sea Glass Volume.
Now, I will compete in the Regional Science Fair which will take place on Feb 2nd. My mom and dad and I had a lot of fun searching for sea glass.
Thanks,”
