About this item
Ceramic discovered The River Tees Barnard Castle Co Durham October 2022 Handcrafted into Decoration November 2025 I love collecting anything broken, lost or found by chance. A small patch of ground beside the River Tees often gets boggy and drenched during heavy rains. The downpours expose all sorts of broken pot, glass, bits of pipes and wonderful oyster shells. I found a lovely piece of ceramic distinctive Blue Willow Pattern. I thought the shape and size made it perfect for a hanging decoration. I've drilled a hole and sanded around it on the back, sealed with Eco Friendly non toxic matt sealant. Front glaze slightly rubbed off in places but continues to catch the light. Beautiful back glaze is crackled through age. The shape is exactly as I found it, a moment in time. The idea is to create something new from old. The finished piece isn't meant to be perfect but instead retain part of the original character, including marks and scratches, all part of the history of the shard found. Measures approximately 71mm x 58mm (widest) x 3mm Hanging on recycled black ribbon. Delivered in gift box made from FSC®-certified cardboard and water-based glue. Presented on Jewellery box insert made from tall oil, a by-product of paper production. Sustainable gifts, complete with short bio and gift bag.

Useful Information
You can cancel the order and get a refund from the maker within 14 days of receipt, provided the item has not been used. Faulty items can be returned within six months of payment being made.
Unless faulty, the following types of items are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to your specific requirements; items which deteriorate quickly (e.g. food), personal items sold with a hygiene seal (cosmetics, underwear) in instances where the seal is broken; digital items.
All finds personally collected from river banks, recycle shops, beaches, wherever dropped, lost or donated. Ceramics are found, cleaned and shaped into new stories. Every piece is individual, nothing replicated, however, due to repetitive patterns there will be some similarity but only through the ceramic material not in the final piece. Ceramic will show marks, scratches and imperfections, all part of its history and journey.
Please note that if your order is being posted outside mainland UK, you (or the recipient) may have to pay customs or VAT charges and a handling fee. The seller is not responsible for any charges or fees that may incur.
The idea is to create something new from old, found by chance, full of history and character. To present and deliver unique Eco Friendly gifts in Sustainable Packaging. Reuse and repurpose materials that would otherwise be thrown away. To capture times gone by, unique moments in time.
