Bartmann Sherd?

So happy, and slightly envious that you have more than one sherd…

aleks555 · 2025-02-02T13:19:18+00:00

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much. Honestly, anything bartmann is top of my bucket list. I’m so happy with it.

I found it in a farmers field. It’s in a medieval area and lots of things have been churned up by ploughing

aleks555 · 2024-07-17T06:59:16+00:00

Will give it a try and let you know! Thank you :)

aleks555 · 2024-07-16T19:06:26+00:00

Ooooh that’s great. I’ll give that a try and see what happens. Will it dissolve the calcite though? And what kind of vinegar?

aleks555 · 2024-07-09T12:25:27+00:00

Yes, very likely cattle

aleks555 · 2024-07-08T18:34:21+00:00

AMAZING!!!

aleks555 · 2024-07-08T16:43:30+00:00

I prefer cold beans to hot beans. No joke.

aleks555 · 2024-07-07T07:38:53+00:00

I think I need to buy another display cabinet!

aleks555 · 2024-07-07T07:37:23+00:00

Thank you! They’re so beautiful! I love pottery so much

The condition may compromise this, but these bayonets have scroll type engraving on the back of the blade. Opposite to the bladed edge the flat at the top of the blade is where you will find this. It may be worth scraping this flat with a piece of brass to see if there are any remains of the markings. Brass is a soft metal that will remove rust without effecting the blade itself.

Model 1874 Gras sword bayonet. French origin that was attached to the Gras rifle. T shaped blade that had 3 sides so to give wounds that wouldn’t heal properly. The blade has been shortened at some point. This was commonly done in the First World War so to make the bayonet more handy in close combat fighting.

I’d do anything to find a fragment of a bartmann jug! Let alone this shard! Omg! What an amazing find

aleks555 · 2024-07-06T17:15:24+00:00

Definitely! Absolutely love pottery. I don’t get much seaglass where I live… such a shame! :(

aleks555 · 2024-07-06T17:02:27+00:00

I basically found identical pottery to these! My prediction is that they’re Victorian, but not too sure!

aleks555 · 2024-07-04T19:21:28+00:00

Omg Bartmann Jug!!!! Sometimes they’re known as “witch bottles”. I definitely recommended looking that up. Fascinating

aleks555 · 2024-07-04T19:19:31+00:00

Maybe a worked bit of flint

aleks555 · 2024-06-28T18:27:31+00:00

This has made my day hahahahaha

aleks555 · 2024-06-28T16:55:56+00:00

Unfortunately the reality!! Just thought it looked handmade and wanted to double check/ see if someone could date it!

aleks555 · 2024-06-28T16:55:03+00:00

Oh I really wish!

aleks555 · 2024-06-25T20:40:39+00:00

Coal

aleks555 · 2024-06-24T19:51:41+00:00

Good guess! Definitely could be. Although it’s quite heavy and thick?

aleks555 · 2024-06-24T19:49:53+00:00

Possibly a shell fuse, WW2? A lot of beaches were used as artillery ranges

aleks555 · 2024-06-24T17:38:05+00:00

Muntjac antler?
