Join me as I meet up with probably the best pottery expert you are ever likely to bump into on the Thames foreshore - Richard Hemery.
I've always been a little nervous of pottery. I love it, but find it hard to date. There is so much of it along the Thames foreshore. I often pick it up, admire it, mumble about it being 17th or 18th century and slip it in my pocket and move on! Richard is the perfect person to accompany me on a pottery mudlarking outing. He can recognise it, tell stories about it and arm you with the facts about pottery right down the ages.
Richard has his own KZfaq channel and it is here:-
/ @richardhemery6916
He is also writing a book about pottery, and his Thames pottery book is now available on ebay for just £2.99 The link is here:-
www.ebay.co.uk/i/233394995538
Richard says:-
"My pottery guide book is here! At the moment it is a PDF book only!
After 12 years of research and mudlarking I put together this 135 page book. It is packed with photos showing typical sherds found in the Thames, with tips on how to identify and date pottery. Most of the common types of pottery found in the London area are included. A lot of these are found all over the UK and abroad.
Included are - Roman pottery, Samian, coarse wares, colour coated, mortaria, tiles.
Medieval pottery, Surrey White Ware, Penn tiles.
Post Medieval, Tudor Green, redwares, slipwares, Borderware, Sunderland slipware, Midlands Purple, stove tiles, imports, Olive jars, German stoneware including Bartmann jugs, Westerwald, English stoneware, white salt-glazed stoneware, scratch blue, tin-glazed earthenware (Delft ware), porcelain, refined earthenware and transfer printed pottery."
You can buy from Ebay - www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233378348145
If you are interested in the pottery shards you find on the Thames foreshore, you will love Richard's book.
Please note that you need a permit from the Port of London Authority in order to mudlark on the Thames foreshore. You can find the details here:-

Thank you for watching.

To be able to walk along the river bank and know that something from any era could be found...my mind boggles at the possibilities. I'd love to get one of your glass fish for my mother. I found your shop on Etsy. Will you have some available soon or do you take request orders? 👍♥️🤗

Through watching your videos, I've also subscribed to other mudlarkers, such as Si-finds, Chill Bill, and some others, and Richard Hemery just happens to be one of them! So, it's nice to see the two of you mudlarking together.
