What is this? It was found today in our garden by my husband. It is pottery – made of red clay. It is not soft like earth. It is very hard and heavy for its size – it has been baked. How old is it? Does it have a purpose? Who was the maker – was it a child? It is crude – it’s not refined. I like good pottery – I have a small collection, all made in Cornwall. It came from Truro, St Ives and Mullion. Some of the names are world-famous (but they are no longer made) – Troika, Bernard Leach, Lake’s, for example. Go away cat – I would like to take a photo of my pottery!
