What I've found in March! :-)

First day of autumn and it's wet and miserable here in Sydney. X-( Just heard we've had the wettest summer in five years. WHAT summer??

Who will be first in with a find?

Well all we have had is smoke, nasty north winds, and heat Mon, Its quite nice today though, except for the wind, big fire at Harrietville is finally contained so no smoke thank goodness.

How are you feeling Mon, recovered from your op?

We've just had the hottest summer ever :_| And it's still happening. Major bushfire dramas yesterday and its only going to be 33 today, back to 40 again by the end of next week...

Far out, this weather is nuts!! Been pithing down here since last night and it's not going to stop for several days. I wish some of it would go to Vic, SA or WA. We've had enough already.

I'm not too bad Miss L. Had some Vertigo this week so not feeling great yet. Another 10 days of this sling, can't wait to get it off.

Just you wait Mon until Granny, Pip and I get back from Wenty this Sunday.

Are you able to make it?

If this rain keeps up we will have to travel down and back in the Tinny :^O .

They surely do count Pip. What an unusual couple in the first photo, I've not seen anything like them before. Possibly one-offs ?:|.

Don't know for sure nanny. I have seen them both in larger forms and have the sitting one as a mermaid. She can be found with pointed legs too. The most unusual thing on this pair is the glaze. They actually feel heavy and rough and I have been looking up glazes all afternoon.

The surface feels like like rusted iron with flaked enamel over the surface and is not like any other Ellis or any other pottery that I have ever seen. Any ideas from anyone?

Four pieces for the beginning of March,putting them in four posts.

The MCP piece I have never seen in the flesh before,no doubt there are hundreds out there.

The Fowler Ware bowl was going to the tip,so I rescued it,the lovely blue pot could be Mashman but not sure and last but not least an everyday beer tankard made by Tiffany & Co.

Granny the pot looks a lot like Mashman and someone will be able to tell for sure.

I found a few strange ones on Sunday as well.
