A Ceramic Egg by ANON similar to the one found today near Purfleet.
With 5000 ceramic eggs of varying sizes and glazes, stragglers and strays are still being found, the most recent by Johanna on a bird sanctuary near Purfleet, this being egg number 1550 London sporting a ‘Jackson Pollock’ glazes of mottled cream, brown and blue.
The quest is still on to find some more of the remaining 5000 that are still out there on the shores of the Thames Estuary, from The North Kent Coast to the Essex Coast on the North side, nestled in the marsh grass and on tide lines. You will find some of the ceramic eggs if you look hard enough at least one is found each week the others will be long gone to the Channel or North Sea.
If you find one let me know and send in a photograph or send a tweet and load it up to my Twitter account talesbytheriver
Came across this site while trying to find out what the six ceramic eggs I found on an essex foreshore were all about. Nice to know I’m not the only one in the dark
Hi Paul, hopefully you are now enlightened as to where they have come from. If you trace back through my blog to last Easter you will see the story unfold. It would be good to find out exactly where you found them?
It’s been nearly a year since they were placed in the Thames,each week one or two get found but there are still many of the 5,000 ceramic eggs out there. On the base of the ones you found should be a London stamp and a number , which numbers are on the six you have and if possible can you email me a picture please?
Well, it was good to hear from you and keep looking.
