[Moe (fl)]

Found this piece on top of the sand near the surf at low tide.

Is this worcester china?

It is thin and the design looks old.

Thanks for your help!

I am not sure if this really relates to your particular piece of porcelain or not but it is a way people tend to age porcelain in Europe. In the Netherlands, they are famous for Delft tiles. When you find pieces of them (or whole ones if you are REALLY lucky) they tend to change thickness with age. The old tiles 17th, 18th century and earlier were pretty thick (1/4" or so). This thickness started to decrease when the Dutch learned how to work porcelain from the Chinese. You can line tiles up and date them pretty close this way. The same thing is true with the clay pipes that are extremely common. The pipe stem thickness decreased in the same way. So it seems logical to assume that the thinner the porcelain is, the more recent it is. So a thin piece of porcelain will not be from around the 17th or 18th century as I see it.

I could be all wet on this but it is what works for porcelain in the Netherlands.
