Found these pieces of pottery in the field behind me. Anyone recognise them, know what time they might be from or know why there are so many of these scattered all over the field?

1. Fly tipping?

2. This is what happens to flying saucers

3. I remember, when I was a kid, I was baffled when there used to be discarded brown and green bottles with zero markings in a ditch near the beach, thought it was some ancient trove, but nah, fly tipping from another era. (VERY old beer bottles, apparently)

   I used to find bits of ancient plate by the shoreline every once in a while too. Interesting, but valueless.

   Edit: The bottles I found were called Stenies and invented in 1930. Not a single one had a label to speak of though, though I’d imagine those plate pieces are a lot older.

   If you want to get them appraised do, but you probably wouldn’t get much.

4. My granny had china like that.

   What you found are different coloured versions of these.

5. I was told it was from workers having lunch . It took 1 day to plough an acre then ,so to plough a field took a few days and lots of people having lunch with plates it seems

6. They are from the little known Chin dynasty in Ireland circa 400BC. Before they were hurlers they the Chins used to be angry potters who liked smashing shit

18. I like to believe its a pottery cult that spreads random fragments of pottery wherever they go

19. Some british lord fine chine stole some time in the past hidden and lost or forgoten 😆

20. Early 1900s is my guess

21. Looks like different variations on willow pattern china. Very common 30-40 years ago but could be from anytime in the last 100 years.
