Mudlarking
I found this little chip on the beach today. It's quite small, but I'm fairly sure it's a piece of a Chinese export porcelain coffee cup, made in about 1715. It would have been blue and white originally, then decorated in London c.1730 with iron-red to give the effect of more expensive and fashionable Imari. It's rather fine: the unbroken ones I have are a cheap and cheaply decorated version (probably from a commercial establishment), but sweet all the same. Anyone with any other ideas?
